On The Road Today – Heading To The Passive House Conference in Frankfurt

I'm writing this here at San Francisco International while I wait for my flight to Frankfurt. I'll be attending the Passive House Conference there this weekend. I'm expecting to meet lots of interesting people, see all kinds of energy efficiency components like windows, doors, and heat recovery ventilators, and learn a lot more about how building to the Passive House standard is going to help California and U.S. achieve energy independence.

Some of my goals include:

  1. Build relationships and potential partnerships with vendors of mid-price, Passive House-certified building materials and components

I'm starting a green energy/green building salon, and the first meeting is this Thursday night (1/29) in Menlo Park. Sign up on this invite/RSVP page to let me know if you're coming.

If you're interested in green buildings like me, or are working out how to have a new career in the green economy, you should drop by!

As I've mentioned, I have a modest little goal to ensure that all 50,000 housing starts in California in the year 2018 are "zero net energy." That means they'll generate as much or more energy as they consume in operation.
