Built to Last: Passive House

June 11, New York City

This one day event will demonstrate how Passive House
can help you make a New York that is built to last.
Mayor Bill de Blasios policy to reduce city-wide carbon
emissions 80% by 2050 in his plan One City: Built to Last, has set
the course for effective climate change mitigation and resilient
adaptation.
Passive House is the one building standard that reliably
and affordably delivers deep cuts in energy use proportionate to
our climate challenge, while providing increased comfort, indoor
health and climate resilience - including net zero and energy
positive buildings.
If youre a stakeholder in our low-energy building future
find out how Passive House is being successfully implemented and
ask questions that relate directly to your situation.

Basic Stats:

500 +/- participants (including architects & engineers,

property developers & managers, policy officials &

30 + vendor expo of leading specialized highperformance products and services
Accessible location at 125 West 18th Street, New York,
