Every building can be renovated to be energy efficient, and every renovation step counts. This will be demonstrated at the 27th International Passive House Conference, which will begin immediately after Easter.
Retrofit. Have an impact
Following its focal theme, 'Retrofit. Have an impact', the conference will present the successful transformation of buildings with high energy consumption into climate-friendly structures with low energy costs and high living comfort.
There will also be excursions and workshops, including a free offer for municipalities. The trade exhibition with Passive House components is also open to the public on both days.
EnerPHit standard
Numerous international examples of retrofits to the EnerPHit standard will be presented. The modernization of all these buildings has been combined with highly energy-efficient Passive House components.
The contrasts in some of these buildings are especially fascinating. The Mayerhof building in Tyrol, which is over 300 years old, was modernized using Passive House components, as was the Hotel Marcel in Connecticut, USA, not far from Yale University. The striking office building from the 1960s is now a climate-friendly hotel with a high level of indoor comfort for its guests.
