Deeper, Healthier Electrification: Passive House Retrofits (online only)

This event has been changed to online only due to a scheduling conflict at O'Dell's. Sorry about the inconvenience.

Electrifying existing buildings is a crucial step toward reducing reliance on fossil fuels, but it introduces certain challenges. These include the risk of diminished resilience in the built environment during power outages and increased costs for backup power solutions.

This presentation explores how integrating Passive House standards into building retrofits can enhance both energy efficiency and resilience. It highlights the long-term benefits of these standards, not only in improving a building’s ability to withstand power disruptions but also in boosting occupant comfort, health, and overall quality of life.
