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)

We intend to record selected sessions so we can 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.
This year's conference motto is "Energy efficiency unites" - because energy efficiency is crucial for a successful, socially equittable energy transition that unites people instead of dividing them.
... and energy-efficient buildings can "unite" much more. For instance, they may not only impress with their great energy performance but also feature an appealing architecture. Or they have an optimised life cycle in terms of sustainable materials and cost-effectiveness. Others have a clever design and deliver excellent monitoring results. ... AND much more!
This year, we welcomed abstracts on the following topics:
Project highlights worldwide
Multi-storey residential buildings, affordable housing, non-residential buildings and special use cases
Buildings under challenging climatic conditions
Fast and simple retrofits
