Passive House Institute: Reliable climate protection with Passive House
15.7.2021 16:19:02 CEST | news aktuell GmbH | Pressemelding
"Of course, I’m happy about this development: seeing the progress from the first experimental residential building to the projects and districts worldwide designed to the Passive House standard", explains building physicist Wolfgang Feist. Nevertheless, the Passive House pioneer makes it clear that “without significantly greater commitment on the part of the governments, there will be very little progress in the energy efficient construction of buildings.”
Passive House Award
Today, 30 years after the first Passive House building kindergartens, schools, sports halls, supermarkets, indoor swimming pools, museums and entire districts to the Passive House standard are a matter of course. These buildings constitute an important contribution to effective climate protection and social equality. The high level of living comfort is an added bonus.
More than 80 projects from 19 countries are competing for the Passive House Award 2021. The presentation of this Award with a special focus on regenerative energy will be live-streamed during the 25th International Passive House Conference. The conference will take place in September in Wuppertal, Germany, and online: 16 lecture series will be dealing with energy efficient construction and retrofitting topics. https://passivehouseconference.org

To date, everwave has removed more than 2.4 million kilograms of plastic from rivers in Cambodia, Albania, and Thailand. The company uses waste collection boats, barriers, and manual cleanups to stop plastic before it reaches the oceans.
