Future Forward: Innovations in Passive House and Beyond

Hamilton Convention Centre | Hamilton, ON | May 8-10, 2023

Join Passive House Canada May 8 through 10 in person in Hamilton, Ontario, or live online as we throw a spotlight on the ways in which the building sector is driving investment and collaborations that target decarbonizing buildings, improves climate change resilience and advances the health and safety of residents.

Showcasing the creativity and innovation of our remarkable Passive House community through projects and expertise, we will also look at governments, environmental and building sector stakeholders that are adopting Passive House or equivalent green building standards to address a generation-defining crunch for more affordable housing in the face of a global climate crisis.
