Designing Passive House: From Small Scale to Large Impact

As climate challenges and wildfires increasingly threaten communities across the Western United States, the need for high-performance, resilient building practices has never been more critical. Passive house design offers a proven framework for creating energy-efficient buildings that are also more durable, comfortable, and adaptable to extreme conditions.

In this session, an architect, a builder, and a manufacturer's sustainable solutions manager will present how to scale passive house strategies from individual homes to broader, larger project applications. Join us to explore the core principles of passive house design-and how these strategies are particularly valuable in wildland-urban interface (WUI) zones.
