The 2025 AIA Colorado Committee on the Environment presents “Empowering Architecture with Passive House”.
Empowering Architecture with Passive House methodology, combining architectural design and building science to solve climate, energy, and comfort with the architecture.
Passive House is a well-established approach and building standard leading to significantly better-performing buildings that are cost-effective to build and healthier and more comfortable to occupy. You could consider it a sustainable design superpower for architects. The methodology combines architectural design and building science to solve for climate, energy, and comfort with the architecture. This leads to the integration of simpler and smaller mechanical systems and performance that is embedded in the architecture. Passive House is the best path to decarbonize, while providing resilient, healthy buildings – and it’s for all buildings, not just houses.
We have seen a Passive House certification surge in regions of North America, such as British Columbia, New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. With the City of Denver’s new Passive House incentives, Passive House is now coming to Colorado. Attend this introductory session about Passive House and begin empowering your architectural practice.
