The Energy Revolution - with the Passive House

Darmstadt/Hanover, 02/February 2012 - Energy efficient construction and renovation is possible anywhere and for every type of building. Energy efficient, Passive House buildings ranging from residential buildings to indoor tennis courts, hotels and hospitals can be constructed not only in Germany but also in Sweden, Indonesia, Croatia or Korea.

The whole range of solutions made possible by the Passive House Standard is presented in the newly released Conference Programme of the 16 th Passive House Conference, taking place on 4 and 5 May 2012 in Hanover, with a framework programme running from 2 to 6 May. The energy these buildings need is reduced not only by a few percentage points, but by a factor of four and often even more. Indeed, the remaining demand is so small that it can usually be met sustainably by the use of regionally available renewable energy sources.
