Passive Energy Building Design and Construction - September 2009
Passive Energy Building Design and Construction—September 2009
As a spin off from our April Green Building Roundtable on Getting to Zero Energy Building, this Roundtable focused on Passive Energy Design which is quickly growing in popularity again as energy costs remain unstable and nations, cities, towns and individuals strive to reduce their carbon footprint to combat global climate change. Participants from both the residential and commercial/industrial sector discussed the latest in energy efficient building techniques and Passive House Design standards. We also viewed a short film on a Passive and Active solar mixed use development in Germany which utilizes a number of Passive House standards. Many resources and funding programs were shared and discussed at this session. Below are links to those resources:
