Comments on the Jury Session
Advisory board sessions for the Passive House conference are taxing not that the experts that come together here are difficult to deal with, on the contrary, working with the board of advisors is very constructive and productive.The problem simply is that there are about 200 submissions, and most of these papers really are excellent.
