Join this presentation to learn about the Passive House Standard (PHS) — the top-tier standard for energy-smart and climate-resilient buildings.

Buildings constructed according to the PHS are energy-efficient, draft-free, and smoke-tight. Year-round, they deliver comfortable temperatures, clean air, and greatly reduced energy use (which translates into much lower utility bills).

Our Building Decarbonization Team Lead, Rob Haw, will give you a thorough introduction to the Passive House, including its design features and benefits to homeowners (and the planet!).

Rob will also talk about Climate Action California's ambitions to get the PHS incorporated into California's existing building code to make it easier and less onerous for developers to adopt this approach.

After the presentation, there'll be a Q&A where you'll have the opportunity to ask questions.

Please RSVP to attend. And be sure to read Rob's excellent piece on the Passive House in Climate Action California's magazine, The Condor. (And, if you haven't yet, subscribe!)
