Wiring, plumbing and fire sprinklers, do they go through the panel for passive homes?

Featured Replies

This is the panel that we are looking at in Mexico https://youtu.be/pS9hRPDWlxM?si=DQnmiuneYh4PqSxd&t=596 Panel W, it was suggested by a developer that is consulting us pro bono since its for a non profit, i try not to bother him too much though

 

For that timestamp it shows them cutting the panel, which IMO is destroying the thermal barrier or watever so it wont be totally sealed as thats a gap in the insulation right? So it wont be a passive sealed house?

 

Another panel that i looked at had the inner foam and the outer being OSB and they drilled the channels in the foam so wiring could go through, i also came across some vids where contractors heated a metal ball and then dropped it through the foam


If we do that with panel w it will keep the thermal barrier to be airtight/ watertight?

 

We are planning to use pex pipe with something such as this https://i0.wp.com/www.justneedspaint.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/design-pex-water-manifold-diagram.jpg?ssl=1 and we would put the pipes in the roof which will use the same panel w, i dont think we will have enough funds to do a false ceiling

 

Any thoughts are appreciated
