In celebration of Earth Day, learn about passive housing—an internationally recognized, performance-based energy standard in construction—and hear how it is gaining traction in the U.S.
Passive House Institute US (PHIUS) Executive Director and Co-Founder Katrin Klingenberg will survey the work her organization is doing to bring passive house building standards into the U.S. mainstream. She will spotlight several passive house projects in Chicago and Illinois, including LUCHA's Tierra Linda project in Humboldt Park—the Landon Bone Baker Architects' building, which is the first multi-family dwelling in Illinois certified by PHIUS in 2018. Learn about the successes and challenges in expanding the reach of passive house, and the differences between it and other green buildings standards, such as LEED.
