Session 10: International Passive House Projects
Tuesday, 14 September 2021
Passive Houses can be implemented in any geographic environment and in accordance with country-specific cultural characteristics. From the United Kingdom to Poland to India and Australia, the speakers in this session will share their experience of Passive House construction projects in different countries and climates, and present local specifics that they had to consider when implementing the projects. Lessons learned regarding the energy demand as well as the individual project size complete the thematic offer.

SoLo prototype and lessons learned for larger scale mass timber Passive House projects Soo Valley Home (SoLo) is an off-grid prototype near Whistler, BC that was designed and constructed to demonstrate an innovative approach to future building in terms of generating its own energy and minimizing its carbon footprint. It is built primarily using mass timber and certified to the international Passive House standard; simultaneously tackling both embodied and operation emissions.
