The regional adaptation of Passive Houses ...

... is the focus of the 15th International Passive House Conference. What are the challenges faced when applying the Standard in varying regional contexts? What creative solutions have been developed and how can they serve motivate others, thereby bringing added value to all? In addressing these key questions, the programme will place special emphasis on Tyrol, a region with numerous Passive House projects and thus a fitting conference location. True to its international scope, however, the conference will feature projects from 15 countries ranging from Korea to Chile. With contributions on renovations using Passive House components as well as on non-residential buildings strongly represented, the programme promises to be both international and well-rounded. Held in parallel, a Passive House exhibition featuring products and services from leading companies will complement the main event. The 8 keynote speeches held in plenary, 72 presentations and over 30 posters combined with a lively Passive House exhibition will undoubtedly make for an exciting and memorable experience.
