Over 100 experts will be talking at the International Passive House Conference about how sustainable construction does not mean compromising comfort.

Set to be held in Frankfurt, Germany, on 19 and 20 April, the conference lectures will be an opportunity for members of the sustainable construction industry to discuss how Passive House, a Standard resulting in a truly "Nearly Zero Energy Buildings", can facilitate the implementation of energy efficiency building legislation worldwide.

The new version of the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) design tool will also be presented at the conference. The new version takes both Passive House and renewable energies into account – a combination being promoted internationally by PassREg, an EU funded project.
