Our Community

We make Passive House design understandable, accessible, and actionable for all, especially for youth and frontline communities. By expanding access to this knowledge, we empower people to take climate action in their own lives and neighborhoods — creating a win-win: healthier, more affordable homes and a more sustainable planet. Everyone should have the opportunity to live in buildings that are good for them — and good for the world.
