Session 14: Policy, networks and education
Wednesday, 15 September 2021
Passive Houses can make an enormous contribution to climate protection in the building sector and are therefore increasingly in the focus of politics, given the climate crisis. Successful models for the implementation of the Passive House Standard for public buildings will be presented, as well as networks that are dedicated to the further dissemination of the Passive House Standard. Furthermore, the speakers will inform about new approaches to the education and training of Passive House planners and consultants as well as about their experiences in this field.
