Pas­siv­e House In­sti­tu­te

The in­de­pend­ent in­sti­tu­te for max­im­um en­ergy ef­fi­ciency in build­ings

Wel­come to our web­site!

En­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ings are es­sen­tial for ef­fect­ive cli­mate pro­tec­tion. They guar­an­tee max­im­um liv­ing com­fort, good air qual­ity, and low en­ergy bills. The build­ing stand­ar­ds Pass­ive House and En­erPHit ret­ro­fit present proven, cost-ef­fect­ive and re­li­able solu­tions for achiev­ing out­stand­ing en­ergy ef­fi­ciency in build­ings.

For more than three dec­ades, the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te has been one of the lead­ing in­de­pend­ent re­search in­sti­tu­tions in the field of highly en­ergy-ef­fi­cient con­struc­tion and ret­ro­fits. In ad­di­tion to our re­search act­iv­it­ies, we of­fer com­pre­hens­ive ad­vice on ef­fi­ciency meas­ures and pro­ject sup­port, train spe­cial­ists, cer­ti­fy en­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ings and build­ing com­pon­ents, de­vel­op plan­ning tools and ad­voc­ate for Pass­ive House prin­ciples in policy, me­dia, and across the con­struc­tion in­dustry.

With this award, the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te in­vites man­u­fac­tur­ers, sys­tem pro­viders, crafts­men, and in­ter­dis­cip­lin­ary teams to re­think how Pass­ive House win­dows can be in­teg­rated in­to ex­ist­ing façades with min­im­al dis­rup­tion, high en­ergy per­form­ance, and smart pre­fab­ric­a­tion strategies.

Re­gis­tra­tion is still pos­sible!

The In­ter­na­tion­al Pass­ive House Open Days are your chance to dis­cov­er the power of en­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ings firsthand.

Wheth­er you are in­ter­es­ted in build­ing your own Pass­ive House or ret­ro­fit­ting your home to the En­erPHit stand­ard or just curi­ous about this sus­tain­able liv­ing concept, this event is for you!

The new bro­chures con­vey es­sen­tial build­ing phys­ics fun­da­ment­als for ret­ro­fits and de­mon­strate their suc­cess­ful ap­plic­a­tion us­ing case stud­ies.

The pub­lic­a­tions are ideal for every­one who wants to learn more about en­ergy-ef­fi­cient ret­ro­fits in ac­cord­ance with the En­erPHit stand­ard.
