Passive House Canada is a national non-profit professional association that advocates for and educates on the Passive House high-performance building standard.
Building to the Passive House standard greatly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, saves the occupants money, and provides resilient structures that can withstand extreme weather related to climate change.
Our mission is to make the International Passive House standard of building performance understood, achievable, and adopted by government, industry, professionals, and the public across Canada through education, advocacy, and events.
An International Standard
Passive House is recognized by the United Nations as the optimal way to build healthy, climate-resilient, affordable, and energy-efficient residential, institutional, and commercial buildings through all stages of design, construction, and livability.
