Guidelines for Your Ab­stract Sub­mis­sion

Please pre­pare a text doc­u­ment of 3,000 char­ac­ters or less (in­clud­ing spaces). Dur­ing the sub­mis­sion pro­cess, you will be asked to copy and paste your text in­to a des­ig­nated dia­logue box. In the fol­low­ing step, you will have the op­por­tun­ity to up­load up to 3 pic­tures and/or graphs in a sep­ar­ate up­load field.

If your ab­stract deals with a build­ing pro­ject, please pay par­tic­u­lar at­ten­tion to the fol­low­ing as­pects if pos­sible:

• Did you face any chal­lenges (e.g.: Was it a her­it­age build­ing? Did you have to use in­teri­or in­su­la­tion?)? How did you over­come these chal­lenges?

• What were the les­sons learned? What would you do dif­fer­ently if you had to re-start the pro­ject?

• Did you im­ple­ment in­nov­at­ive strategies that were new in your pro­ject coun­try or that had not been ap­plied to your spe­cif­ic build­ing type be­fore?

• If avail­able, please provide the (ex­pec­ted) yearly run­ning costs and the (ex­pec­ted) in­vest­ment pay­back.

• If avail­able, please in­clude user feed­back.

• Please provide as much de­tail as pos­sible and avoid vague lan­guage or rhet­or­ic­al ques­tions!

If you are se­lec­ted as a speak­er, you will be asked to:

• Giv­e a 20- to 25-minute pre­sent­a­tion (1 speak­er and max. 1 co-speak­er; short group Q&A at the end; us­ing a Power­Point slideshow is re­com­men­ded)

• Sub­mit­ a 2-, 4- or max­im­um 6-page art­icle to the di­git­al con­fer­en­ce pro­ceed­ings (you choose the length)

• At­tend­ the con­fer­en­ce in Inns­bruck, Aus­tria (at a re­duced speak­er price)

The Passivhaus Institute in­tends to re­cord all ses­sions and share them as on de­mand videos with the con­fer­en­ce par­ti­cipants after the event. If you are a group of au­thors, please choose one speak­er and a maximum of one co-speak­er to attend the event.
