The International Passive House Conference is a benchmark event in the construction sector, where professionals from all over the world get together to look at the latest trends in Passivhaus and high performance buildings. Held this year in the alpine city of Innsbruck in Austria, the event combined technical presentations, visits to passivhaus buildings and an exhibition of innovative materials and components for sustainable and energy efficient construction.
Recent developments were presented, such as the new protocol to certify apartments within multi-family residential buildings. This means it won’t be necessary to carry out a step-by-step retrofit plan to obtain EnerPHit certification, and will simplify the work for Passivhaus Designers and Certifiers, while offering a solution to owners who want to retrofit and certify their apartment. Also, a new simplified version of the PHPP was presented, for the certification of single-family homes. The idea is to streamline the design and certification process for this type of property.
Praxis CEO Oliver Style gave a presentation on the Site Supervisor and Construction Verifier training courses we provide at Praxis, which have helped developers, contractors and designers minimise risk and cost overruns. He explained how the seven editions of both courses have equipped more than 80 attendees with the tools and knowledge needed to bridge the gap between design and construction for large and complex Passivhaus projects.
It was exciting to be able to meet so many professionals from such a range of countries and share ideas on how to transform architecture and create more efficient, healthy and comfortable buildings. In these two videos, Bega Clavero and Macarena Rossetti, Passivhaus Designers at Praxis, share their experience at the 27th edition of the International Passive House Conference:
