Introduced by the Passive House Institute in 1996, the Research Group for Cost-effective Passive Houses is one of PHI’s key research tools in dealing with recurring and new Passive House related questions and challenges, thereby addressing both theoretical and practical aspects of the question at hand. The Research Group typically meets 2 to 4 times per year, focussing on a different issue each time, ranging from general Passive House principles and technologies to economic aspects and optimised cost-effectiveness; from different types of buildings, construction types and climates, to specific requirements for Passive House refurbishments.
While these sessions are, thus far, held in German only and the proceedings are published in German (order online ), iPHA is working on translating the most important findings gleaned through the sessions and published in the proceedings to make them available in the form of Passipedia articles. Below, your will find a list of all Research Group proceedings published so far. All those shown as hyperlinks will lead you English translations available on Passipedia.
