Objectives

PassREg directly reaches out to regions and municipalities through its 14 project partners across the EU. Over PassREg's 3 year duration (May 2012 – April 2015), the project will aim to

•    Increase awareness of Passive House plus renewable solutions amongst key actors
•    Make successfully applied solutions accessible within the project regions and beyond
•    Build capacity for quality training of construction professionals in the project regions
•    Stimulate markets for increased availability of suitable products and technologies
•    Boost the number of buildings based on Passive House plus renewables in partner regions

In the long term, this will lead to the large-scale uptake of Passive House solutions in multiple EU countries via the development of national schemes based on Passive House and renewables as a path towards meeting to the EU's 2020 building performance targets. This will stimulate regional economies and the necessary infrastructure, thus improving affordability and quality of the technologies needed and increasing the number of construction professionals capable of implementing highly energy efficient buildings throughout the EU.
