 In May 2016, representatives from 5 companies selected to build the Passive Houses and the local experts that will be guiding the optimization of the project attended a 5-day course in Mexico City. The course included all the concepts of the Passive House standard and PHPP. The course was led by Javier Flórez from the Consortium GOPA | Passivhaus Institut and Micheel Wassouf, director of Energiehaus Arquitectos.

 Overall, the results from the airtightness tests were very good. One of the projects achieved right away a value below the 0.6/h at 50Pa required for Passive Houses. For the others, areas of improvement were detected, and it is expected that the criteria is also met once these are reviewed.

 The LAIF Component ended in 2019 with 30 pilot projects constructed by 4 different companies (see image below). These houses, together with the trained local experts and design and construction teams, as well as the creation of the supply chains for technologies previously not available in the country, are the main outcomes of the program. These will facilitate the dissemination of the concept and show the technical and economic feasibility of the Passive House standard in the different climatic conditions in Mexico. However, initial planning included a higher number of constructed houses which were not carried out. Being one of the first programs that aim at the implementation and financing of social housing with high energy efficiency in a developing country, an analysis of its implementation can draw a light on the key factors for its successful replication in similar contexts. You can find out more about the outcomes of the projects, the technologies used for the different climates and the [[basics:passive_houses_in_different_climates:passive_house_in_tropical_climates:lessons_learnd|lessons learned]] on the article here, and the video of the presentation [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=VnEGM6-gaZc&feature=youtu.be|here]].
