-In other words, how high the increase in the energy demand will be for these regions will depend on the solutions that we implement today. So we need to start planning for high energy efficiency and avoid interim solutions. Luckily, Passive House has proven to be a viable solution for this that goes way beyond energy savings of the individual building – it can play a direct role in achieving many of the current sustainable global aims (for [[example the SDG’s |]] as defined by the UN), among them health and comfort, equity and resilience [Tzar 2021].

 Some examples of the initiatives in the country are:
-  * **The analyses carried out for the first Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions (NAMAs) for Sustainable Housing: **showing that Passive House is the most economical option when looking at the costs during the whole life cycle of the building. And this holds true for different typologies, under different climate requirements and even on a present scenario where not all Passive House components are available in the market. This was carried out first for [[https://passivehouse.com/05_service/03_literature/0302_cost-effectiveness/030202_energy-efficiency_sustainable-housing_Mexico.htm|new-builds]] [PHI 2012] and second study shows that following a concept similar to the EnerPHit Retrofit Plan can guarantee high energy savings in [[retrofits|]] [PHI 2015].

   * **DEEVi Tool:**  The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is used as the basis for the tool used in the System to Evaluate Green Housing (SISEVIVE-ECOCASA) to assess the energy performance of housing projects receiving funding from different Mexican Institutions.
   * A [[https://passivehouse-database.org/index.php?lang=en#d_2959|refurbishment in Mexico City]] was [[https://vimeo.com/107520268|certified as a Passive House]] in 2014, becoming the **first Passive House in Latin America. **

-  * **Pilot projects - New housing:**  Thanks to the LAIF Component of the Ecocasa Programme there are now around 30 pilot projects of social housing built to the Passive House standard. These are located in hot climates like Monterrey and Nogales, but also in milder climates like Guadalajara and Morelia. You can learn more about the project [[here|]] and read about the first experiences on Blower Door testing [[https://blog.passivehouse-international.org/passive-house-buildings-mexico/|here.]]

The image below includes an example from this study.
