e-co lab Presents at 11th annual International Passive House Conference
Held in beautiful Bregenz, Austria, this year's conference was fully booked with 900 participants a month before the event, a record attendance. Those present were treated to an array of fascinating passive house presentations, including three from the e-co lab staff:
"Passive House Under Construction in California," "Warm Climate Building Strategies", and "Lessons Learned from the Builder's Perspective."
The conference also featured a Sunday field trip to some of the many passive house projects in the region. Stops on a great tour of northern Vorarlberg (the westernmost province in Austria) included a school, a factory, a community center, apartments, and a single-family dwelling. Vorarlberg, one of seven Austrian provinces, has also recently passed a law stipulating that all new construction funded by state money is to be built to passive house standard. Wow!
