Passive House Conference 2024
Event details
BUILDING BETTER FOR COMMUNITIES AND CLIMATE
CPD points available from PHI; ADNZ and NZRAB!
Join us at Aotearoa’s high-performance building event of the year to be part of building better for our communities and climate.
Better performing buildings are a vital path to solving the climate challenges that confront us. Highly energy-efficient buildings slash operational carbon emissions and alleviate the burden of fuel poverty. Passive House also complements efforts to reduce the embodied carbon emissions of the construction industry. And, Passive House buildings create healthier, more comfortable indoor environments that improve wellbeing.
We already have the skills, systems and products to deliver evidence- based and rigorously evaluated high-performance buildings. What’s needed is massively increased uptake.
Take part in creating a break-through year for Passive House and building performance in Aotearoa
