Event Description

Passive House (PH) construction may be poised to become a key component of the state’s next generation of high efficiency affordable housing. Join us to learn how multifamily passive building construction is gaining momentum and what barriers remain in Minnesota, driven by state incentives, ambitious energy codes, and a growing body of completed projects.

This webinar will benefit utility Energy Conservation and Optimization (ECO) Programs:

Receive immediate, actionable guidance on how best to structure ECO programs targeted at MF PH construction.
Learn how to use these findings to maximize awarded energy savings and market uptake of high-efficiency affordable housing.
We will detail the feasibility, cost effectiveness, and energy/carbon savings potential of PH certification. Crucially, we identify the most promising market segments for ECO Programs to target based on market drivers and barriers.

Don't miss the chance to utilize this new localized data to optimize ECO programs and accelerate the next generation of high efficiency construction in Minnesota.
