Passive House Open Days kicks off this Friday, November 7! Over the weekend, you can take the opportunity to experience the comfort of high-performance building first-hand by visiting participating Passive House buildings in your area. Whether you’re interested in learning more about passive building, resiliency, sustainability, or energy-efficient design, Passive House Open Days is designed to provide an immersive experience and to give you the chance to connect with and learn from Passive House owners.

Folks in New England should also know that it is currently Building Science Week in Maine, and that there are loads of workshops, presentations, and other events celebrating high-performance design and construction practices throughout the state. For a full listing, please check out the passivhausMAINE page here.
