Passive House Conference in Dresden

We attended the 14th Annual Passive House Conference in Dresden Germany last week. The Passive House Institute launched the International Passive House Association which promises to be a wonderful to for many of the Passive House organizations working outside of western Europe.

The conference was well attended by over 1,000 people representing over 52 countries. Much socializing and a general air of collaboration.

This fall Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) was formally changed to a registered 501(c3) non-profit and a board was selected. The current board of directors is Allison Kwok, Gray Swicegood, Mike Knezovich, Laura Briggs, and my self, Jonah Stanford as board president.  I will write more on the committees and our current work in future blogs.  Another huge step for Passive House Institute US was the formation of the Passive House Alliance, which took place last month (January 2010). Already four strong Passive House Chapters are in place.  Contact NEEDBASED or PHIUS for more information.
