Aggressively Passive: Why Fierce Brand Competition Is a Huge Win for Green Architecture
3. Upcoming Conferences
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)
Experts from around the world will present on the enormous potential of good design, while at the same time product and component suppliers and manufacturers will demonstrate their practical implementation in our Trade Show & Exhibit. The conference will demonstrate the importance of well-conceived and consistent action in the building sector for a successful transition to a sustainable energy future. Hands on Workshops and Masterclasses will help professionals deepen their knowledge on Passive House technologies and methodologies, while Site visits will provide the opportunity to experience the real difference of Passive House.
Passive House Canada, Future Forward: Innovations in Passive House and Beyond (May 8-10)
This year’s Annual Conference will consider the evolutions and innovations of Passive House design and construction, both currently and looking towards the future. Additionally, the conference will highlight the numerous evolutions in buildings and standards within a crowded green building market. This conference will also spotlight efforts to bolster the wider building sector across Canada and internationally by driving investment and collaborations, targeting embodied carbon, increasing climate resilience, leveraging policy and regulation, and spurring on prefabrication and manufacturing sectors of Canada.
Getting to Zero Forum (May 10-12)
The Getting to Zero Forum is the premier event dedicated to building decarbonization. With a growing number of climate emergencies across the United States and around the world, there is no more important time than now for the Getting to Zero Forum. The event brings together the world’s leading experts to share best practice approaches to reducing energy demand and decarbonization related to policy, program, and projects. It is the only event with a broad cross-section of stakeholders focused on ambitious building efficiency goals and is an ideal venue for organizing both the policy and building communities to achieve zero carbon ambitions.
NYC Next: Trends for a Changing City (June 8)
In our 2023 conference, NYC Next: Trends for a Changing City, we’re bringing together experts to explain three key trends that will shape the city: getting to net zero, converting offices to apartments, and centering resiliency in NYC’s buildings of the future. We’ll talk to the individuals who have an inside look at these trends and are doing the work to make NYC’s climate targets a reality.
ASES Solar 2023 (Aug 8-11)
ASES supports the global initiative that a world equitably transformed to 100% renewable energy is an urgent necessity. Through the ASES National Solar Conference, SOLAR 2023 will elevate public, institutional, and governmental awareness of the critical role solar energy is playing in the global energy landscape. We must ensure that access to and the benefits from clean energy will be enjoyed by all communities, especially those that have been denied those benefits in the past.
