Passive House is the most rigorous energy efficiency standard a building can achieve, focusing on maximizing energy efficiency and building performance while enhancing comfort and quality of life for occupants. As a leading standard for reducing energy consumption, Passive House plays a crucial role in meeting stringent regulations like Local Law 97.

Enjoy coffee, tea, and small bites as you learn more about the benefits and applications of Passive House design and what it will take to make Passive House the business-as-usual standard for everyone, everywhere!
