Meeting our energy needs sustainably into the future requires nothing short of an energy revolution. In terms of our built environment, perhaps the greatest opportunity lies in the promotion of an “energy efficiency first” approach to building, supplemented by renewable energies. The 2014 Passive House Award, a competition organised by the Passive House Institute within the EU funded project PassREg (Passive House Regions with Renewable Energies), will recognise innovative projects demonstrating the great potential and versatility offered by highly energy-efficient buildings supplied with renewable energies. Competition entries can range in scope from single buildings to entire districts or regions. Submissions will be evaluated by an independent jury of highly qualified experts based on their energy efficiency and sustainable energy supply concepts along with other features such as cost-effectiveness and architectural design.
