At the International Passive House Days, anyone can learn more about the comforts of a Passive House. While the majority of buildings taking part will consist of private dwellings, office buildings and schools will also be among the Passive House structures open to the public. The buildings were designed by a variety of different architects using various construction methods.
The International Passive House Days event is put on by the International Passive House Association (IPHA), its German affiliate, the Informations Gemeinschaft Passivhaus Deutschland (IG Passivhaus), several European Passive House Communities, the EU Project PASS-NET and a number of partners abroad.
As Passive House Standard is open to the public and is not a registered trademark, it is available for use by everyone who is interested. Any constructor, architect, developer or investor can start his or her own Passive House project. All the knowledge needed is freely accessible and numerous independent manufacturers offer high quality building products, in line with the Passive House standard.
