Global Adaptation of Passive House: Culture, Climate and Challenges
With rising determination to fight the climate crisis worldwide, practitioners are finding the Passive House standard a potent solution for the building sector. As passive and other sustainable building standards are proliferating worldwide, those standards meet a host of different location-specific challenges. This diverse panel of women architects and certified Passive House consultants are seeking to understand the adaptation of the Passive House standard globally. Through recorded interviews with practitioners around the world, they will highlight how some principles and modeling protocols apply universally, while others need to be adapted to human behavior, cultural context, and climate.
