Passive House is breaking ground across the country thanks to grassroots movements for sustainable, resilient housing. See how during the 2026 Passive House Conference on June 4th & 5th in New Haven, CT. Leo Cheng and Jaime Rodriguez Jr. from ResilientHAUS will share insights from a community displaced by wildfires in Altadena, California. How does a community with no building or architecture experience navigate the Passive House landscape as they work to rebuild? They will be joined by Karen Ramsey from Building Wellness, LLC, who will speak on a pilot program developed in partnership with the City of Fort Collins, Colorado to deliver affordable Passive House in direct service of community need. See the full schedule, including curated member meetups, information on accommodations, and more on our conference webpage with the link in our bio.

Passive House creates the ideal environment for everyone—and that's especially important for our kids. See how during the Passive House Conference on June 4th & 5th in New Haven, CT. Andrew Peel from Peel Passive House will share his experience from the Witset Indigenous Youth Healing Lodge in British Colombia, Canada. The Witset First Nation addressed the legacy of multigenerational trauma produced by the Canadian Residential School System's atrocities by creating a Youth Healing Lodge for the children of residential school survivors and their families. The owners saw the Passive House standard as a critical part of the project, providing a healthy indoor environment that supports healing alongside the project's financial sustainability. He'll be joined by Mike Fowler from Mithun, who will speak on the award-winning Upper School project at The Bush School in Seattle, Washington. The project connects high performance with community, ecology, and human development, emphasizing team environments for a larger purpose. See the full schedule, including curated member meetups, information on accommodations, and more on our conference webpage with the link in the bio. We can't wait to see you there.
