The International Passive House Open Days are right around the corner! From November 13–15, Passive House enthusiasts and professionals around the world will open their doors, virtually or in-person, to showcase high-performance buildings that put comfort, health, and sustainability first.
Whether your project is completed, under construction, or somewhere in between, this is your opportunity to share your story, inspire others, and connect with people who care about the future of building.
For the public, this is your chance to tour a Passive House. See the list of participating Canadian projects at the bottom of this page.
Why Participate?
The International Passive House Open Days is one of the largest annual events celebrating energy-efficient construction. Organized by the International Passive House Association (iPHA) and its affiliates worldwide, this event allows the public to experience firsthand how Passive House buildings perform in real life—quiet, comfortable, and efficient year-round.
For designers, builders, and homeowners, it’s a fantastic way to:
- Showcase your work to an international audience.
- Educate the public about the benefits of Passive House design.
- Connect with others in the growing global Passive House community.
- Inspire future projects by sharing real-world experiences and lessons learned.
A Longstanding Global Tradition
The International Passive House Open Days have been running for over two decades, connecting thousands of participants each year. From single-family homes to multi-unit buildings, schools, and retrofits, the event highlights the adaptability and benefits of Passive House principles in every climate and context.
Ways to Take Part
There are several ways to get involved—no matter where you are or what stage your project is in:
- Host an in-person tour of your Passive House building or site.
- Offer a virtual tour using photos, videos, or 3D walkthroughs.
- Organize a webinar or presentation featuring your project, team, or journey.
