WELCOME TO PASSIVE HOUSE NORTHWEST

Passive House Northwest advances the adoption of passive building in the Pacific Northwest by fostering community, sharing knowledge, and promoting policies that support high-performance, low-embodied-carbon design and construction. We empower design and building professionals supporting industry education and collaboration, highlighting the economic, environmental, and human benefits of durable, high-performance buildings.

The primary strategies that we employ are: building and strengthening the Passive House community in the northwest by facilitating communication and resource sharing; collecting and disseminating knowledge and facilitating education on the Passive House standard and developments in the field; practicing outreach through publicity and providing information to the general public; advocating for policies promoting Passive House as well as the protection of the standard; collaborating with other regional, national, and international Passive House organizations, as well as other related organizations; and promoting regional production of building elements needed for Passive House construction.
