It features educational sessions covering how to make the most of Passive House, including the following considerations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>climate;<\/li>\n<li>cost- and energy-effectiveness;<\/li>\n<li>hygrothermal performance;<\/li>\n<li>policy and financial tool developments; and<\/li>\n<li>critical solutions and challenges.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Case studies will also be covered as part of the educational sessions, and an exhibition hall will be available for attendees to explore.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis conference is where it\u2019s at if you\u2019re into high-performance building,\u201d said Katrin Klingenberg, PHIUS\u2019s executive director. \u201cIt draws the most experienced passive building practitioners in North America, many of whom will present and share their expertise and lessons learned with the community. There\u2019s no better place to get started or dig in deeper to the most advanced passive building principles.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Registration is now open for the Passive House Institute U.S. (PHIUS) Annual North American Passive House Conference, which is scheduled for September 27 to October 1.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1836,"featured_media":39743,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1029],"tags":[1351,1151,3622,3309],"class_list":["post-39741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-conference","tag-passive-house","tag-phius","tag-washington","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
