OK, you have done the homework, know your building science, built an energy model and created a gorgeous aesthetic with an optimized form for your passive project. What's left to consider?

It’s time to think about resiliency. What does it mean to build in a world affected by climate change? How can we leverage passive building to design buildings that withstand the worsening effects of climate change in our region? Please join our curated group of experts as we discuss how to adapt our building practices to meet the needs of the coming decades and more. For those who endeavor to create the highest levels of durability, health, resilience, comfort and energy efficiency in the built environment, this one-day conference will highlight one of the most important aspects of passive building.

We have four incredible keynote speakers, several panels, great food and drink, and lots of extra time to network and socialize with our community, including a tour of passive buildings in the greater Portland area. Please don't miss out on this great event!
