PH2020: Choose Your Future
Every Wednesday, June 24 - July 29 @ 1:00 - 4:00 PM
Its core mission is to demonstrate and discuss how (and why) building owners, developers, and occupants are choosing Passive House to improve outcomes, minimize uncertainty and risk, provide more control, increase performance and enhance well-being.
This is a co-creation event, which means we’ll be gathering insights from the ensuing discussion and turning them into an actionable resource for all attendees to take away with them. After the event, all participants will receive an eBook, capturing the collective knowledge shared during the event from both the speakers and attendees alike.
CTPH Members get a 25% discount on registration. See 5/26 members-exclusive email for your discount code.
