Cohost Matthew Cutler-Welsh interviews Giorgia Tzar, a familiar guest on the Passive House Podcast. Now based in Stuttgart, Germany Giorgia runs the International Passive House Association at the Passive House Institute.
Throughout the last couple of years, we've all had to work a bit differently, but the work has continued. Interest in Passive House is growing strongly around the world, not just with designers and building owners. Governments and policymakers are paying attention. In this catch-up, Giorgia shares some of her recent and ongoing work helping to shape energy and climate policy at the United Nations Climate Change Conference. Matthew and Giorgia also chat about some of the exciting projects and activities planned for 2022 at Passive House Institute and the International Passive House Association. Listen here.
