  • Summary

  • Join our conversation with Rob Bernhardt, an expert in building energy efficiency and policy.

    As past CEO of Passive House Canada and someone who has built and sold Passive House buildings, and lives in one, he is familiar with the costs and benefits of highly efficient buildings.

    As the most stringent energy efficiency standard in the world, Passive House buildings require up to 90% less heating and cooling energy than conventional buildings in addition to improving affordability, thermal comfort, air quality and noise reduction.

    From being a novel building practice a decade ago, millions of square feet of both new and retrofit Passive House projects are being undertaken in Canada alone.  Both components and expertise are now easier to find, offering a promising path to decarbonization of the building sector.
