Thirty-five years ago, physicist Wolfgang Feist and his family built the world’s first Passive House in Darmstadt, Germany. In doing so, he laid the foundations for a remarkable global shift in construction and renovation in the early 1990s.
In 1996, Wolfgang Feist went on to found the Passive House Institute.
