Passive House for All. Comfort, Health, Equity, Security

In these uncertain times, one thing you can count on is a great NAPHN Passive House Conference. 2021 should be the best yet. It is planned to be a hybrid conference, Thursday and Friday, June 10 and 11. It will be held in-person in New York City (at a reduced capacity for safety) and online, so that everyone who wants to participate can, where they are most comfortable. Accessibility is not only a priority in the context of the pandemic, but also in our work to expand the Passive House community to include new voices, perspectives and capabilities.

Passive House for All is a call to action. Our existential environmental, health and social crises demand that we look beyond isolated symptoms and tackle interlocking systemic causes; across disciplines, from buildings to communities. The event will take on the full range of specialized technical, process, and policy aspects of Passive House one expects from a NAPHN conference – and it will challenge us to diversify. It will challenge us to make Passive House benefits, tools, and work, accessible to everyone.
