Sci­en­tif­ic Ad­vis­ory Board 2026

For every In­ter­na­tion­al Pass­ive House Con­fer­en­ce, we re­ceive more than one hun­dred con­tri­bu­tions on Pass­ive House and En­erPHit pro­jects from all over the world. The in­de­pend­ent Sci­en­tif­ic Ad­vis­ory Board ev­al­u­ates the sub­mis­sions and then se­lects 40 to 50 con­tri­bu­tions based on a rank­ing pro­ced­ure in the course of their ad­vis­ory board meet­ings which usu­ally span sev­er­al days. You can look for­ward to an ex­cit­ing pro­gramme!
