The 2023 UK Passivhaus Conference will be a hybrid event (in-person in Edinburgh and online) on 16 & 17 October at The University of Edinburgh. Over two days we will be exploring the adaptability of Passivhaus, its implementation and benefits over a diverse range and scale of projects around the UK, and its potential applicability for ALL homes throughout Scotland
Day one of the 2023 UK Passivhaus Conference will present an informative seminar on Passivhaus educational buildings. Passivhaus schools are at the forefront of sustainable design, providing exceptional indoor air quality, thermal comfort, and low energy consumption and contributing to the well-being and productivity of students and staff.
We will learn about the key considerations, strategies, and technologies employed in Passivhaus school projects, and examine a real-life case study showcasing a successful Passivhaus school design and its positive impact on the learning experience.
Day one also sees us hosting a number of site visits for you to choose from to witness first hand a Passivhaus project in progress. Please note, due to high demand, it is only possible to book one site visit per delegate.
On day two, the 2023 UK Passivhaus Conference will host an exciting programme of seminars, case studies and technical sessions discussing new Scottish policies and legislation, large and complex Passivhaus construction, Passivhaus best practices and the latest resources availbale for getting your Passivhaus project off the ground - all while connecting with others committed to designing sustainable, energy-efficient buildings! Our sponsors will also showcase their products and services in a vibrant exhibit.
