The Third Annual North American Passive House Network Conference & Expo will be held June 13th and 14th, 2016, in New York City: Featuring state-of-the-art building strategies, components and professional development necessary for us to decarbonize by 2050, the #1 public policy goal of our time.
The conference will take place at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 West 18th Street, New York, NY.
The scientific consensus is clear – we must reduce overall carbon emissions at least 80% by 2050 to prevent the worst effects of climate change. And Passive House is one of our most powerful tools to achieve it. “As world leaders attending COP21 in Paris pledged action to fight our climate crisis – stakeholders are invited to NAPHN16 in New York City in June to learn about the means and methodologies that are already proven solutions.” says NAPHN Co-President, Bronwyn Barry.

- urban, high density and high-rise buildings
- low-rise and rural approaches
- buildings from the arctic to the tropics
