North American Passive House Network call for submissions
The North American Passive House Network (NAPHN) has announced a call for submissions regarding their upcoming two-day conference set for September 22nd and 23rd, taking place in Portland, Maine. The keynote address will be provided by Dr. Wolfgang Feist.
A variety of presentations, all focusing on the Passive House Standard, will be covered. Eight topic areas will be considered for those submitting:
- All Climates: A look at buildings in demanding (and not so demanding) climates; from arctic, to desert, to hot and humid and between.
- All Building Types: From buildings with complex programs (and not so complex); from schools, to offices, to multi-family, to single family homes.
- Fully Integrated: A look at the planning & technological nuts and bolts; from heat pumps, to ventilation, to manufactured and production building, to onsite PV, solar thermal and more.
- EnerPHit Standard: Renovating to make yesterday’s buildings the future again. All uses, locations and issues.
- Nor’easter: Regional issues regarding buildings, techniques, and issues unfolding in the conference host region of New England and Eastern Canada.
- Comfort, Health & Efficiency: Technical considerations regarding predicable, mold free, draft free, low-energy building.
- Finance & ROI: The institutions, the mechanisms, the policies, the data to make these buildings possible.
- Energy, Policy & Building: From Passive House and new PHI energy rating categories, to a green grid – all aspects of making society’s low-energy carbon-free changeover.
Presentation submissions may address more than one topic area. Submissions are encouraged to indicate as many topic areas as may be applicable, though a primary focus for the session must be noted in the description. Submissions are welcome from across North American and from around the globe.
The deadline for acceptance is set for May 31st and submissions may be updated at anytime up to the deadline. Those interested in applying should do so online through the NAPHN online submission form.
