Passive House Northwest Embodied Carbon Mini Conference (May 5)
This one day conference will be focused on embodied or 'upfront' carbon impacts of Passive buildings. What is more impactful, the operational energy savings of Passive buildings or the upfront carbon emitted when crafting more robust assemblies? Does one outweigh the other? Is it an either or choice? Come join our curated group of experts for a one day discussion around these issues. We will discuss materials and design choices that can minimize the upfront emissions AND the energy usage of our buildings. We shall endeavor to dispel the myth that Passive Building enclosures may be too carbon intensive to pursue as a solution to the ongoing climate crisis, while highlighting the benefits of a robust, resilient and healthy Passive House building.
Thrive South Pacific Passivhaus Conference (May 5-6)
