Darmstadt/Innsbruck/Vienna, 12.05.2011 – The Passive House saves 80-95% energy as well as CO2 emissions, and its construction is hardly more expensive than that of conventional buildings. It is therefore not surprising that there are already 32,000 buildings in Europe that have been built to the Passive House Standard, which has already established itself as a trend-setter for energy-efficient construction and also forms the basis for the “Nearly Zero Energy Building”. The world’s largest convention for energy-efficient construction will be held in Innsbruck from 27th-28th May 2011 where more than 1,200 participants will discuss solutions for sustainable construction.
