WERKMAN TECH WAS INVITED TO ATTEND THE 23RD INTERNATIONAL PASSIVE HOUSE CONFERENCE
On October 9th, 2023, the 23rd International Passive House Conference and the 5th China (Gaobeidian) International Door and Window Expo commenced in Gaobeidian, Hebei. Distinguished government officials, passive house experts, and industry leaders representing over 50 countries and regions participated in this prestigious event. Notably, the International Passive House Congress has been held 22 times in Europe since its inception in 1996. However, this congress marks its inaugural foray into Asia, specifically China.
Originating in Germany, the passive house concept is renowned in China as an ultra-low energy-consumption building. It represents a green building approach that eliminates the need for coal-fired gas heating in winter and air conditioning for cooling in summer, ensuring year-round comfort while prioritizing energy efficiency. Promoting and advancing passive house technology holds tremendous significance in fostering widespread adoption and development.
Reliable sources indicate that the International Passive House Conference receives sponsorship from esteemed entities such as the International Passive House League (IPHA), Baoding Municipal Government, Hebei Provincial Department of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and is hosted by Gaobeidian Municipal Government, and China International Door and Window City. Embracing the theme of "Passive House All Over the World," the conference facilitates comprehensive discussions on cutting-edge passive building technology, the latest passive house projects, innovative approaches to passive building technology in diverse climatic zones, and extreme weather conditions. To facilitate these exchanges, the organizing committee has scheduled the main forum of the International Passive House Conference along with 20 parallel forums and 10 parallel forums of the International Door and Window Expo.
