Passive House Conference with many offers for municipalities
Results of EU funded project PassREg to be presented as part of the programme
Darmstadt. The success of the energy revolution will largely be decided at the local level.

Opportunities for greater efficiency in cities and municipalities will be one of the main topics at the International Passive House Conference, which will take place from 17 to 18 April in Leipzig. Municipal representatives will be able to attend lectures addressing their specific needs. Speakers from many European countries will also present the results of the EU funded project PassREg (Passive House Regions with Renewable Energies). Press Release
