Please prepare a text document with max. 3,000 characters including spaces. During the submission process, you will be asked to copy and paste your text into a designated dialogue box. In the following step, you will have the opportunity to upload up to 3 pictures and/or graphs in a separate upload field.
If your abstract deals with a building project, please pay particular attention to the following aspects if possible:
Did you face any challenges (e.g.: Was it a heritage building? Did you have to use interior insulation?)? Which strategies did you choose to overcome
these challenges?
What are the lessons learned? What would you do differently if you had to re-start the project?
Did you implement innovative strategies that were new in your project country or that had not been applied to your specific building type before?
If available, please provide the (expected) yearly running costs and the (expected) investment payback.
If available, please include user feedback.
Please provide as much detail as possible and avoid vague language or rhetorical questions!
The Advisory Board for the 29th International Passive House Conference will evaluate all abstracts.
If you are selected as a speaker, we ask you to contribute to the event by:
Giving a 20- to 25-minute presentation (1 speaker and max. 1 co-speaker; short group Q&A at the end; using a PowerPoint slideshow is recommended)
Submitting a 2-, 4- or maximum 6-page article to the digital conference proceedings (you choose the length)
Attending the conference in Innsbruck, Austria (at a reduced speaker price)
We intend to record all sessions and share them as on demand videos with the conference participants after the event. If you are a group of authors, please choose one speaker and max. 1 co-speaker. Naturally, you can list more authors in your article for the conference proceedings.
We look forward to reading your abstracts!
To enhance your chances in the selection process, please carefully read the guidelines for your abstract submission. We will send you an email with the results of the selection process in November 2026.
