Efficiency promotes social justice
Highly energy-efficient buildings are indispensable for climate protection. The 26th International Passive House Conference demonstrated that a high energy efficiency is also necessary for other reasons: social justice, good air quality for example in schools and health care buildings, and protecting the power grid against overloading are other good reasons to build and retrofit buildings in a better way.

Quality control for highly energy-efficient refurbishments
The EU project outPHit has now made three concepts for quality assurance in renovations available. The aim is for retrofits to reliably achieve a high level of energy efficiency. The three concepts cover the entire refurbishment process: from planning through preparation for execution to verification of actual energy consumption upon completion. The concepts will be presented in a webinar on 19 January 2023.
