About the event

This interactive webinar examines the true financial economics of building to the Passive House standard. Through three real-world case studies across Scotland, Ireland, and Germany, industry professionals analyze capital costs, council specifications, and efficiency premiums amid rising construction expenses. Presenters share detailed financial comparisons from a 90-home development, evaluate cost differences for specific building features against conventional benchmarks, and explain how efficiency investments protect against future energy price volatility. An interactive roundtable discussion addresses attendee questions to separate budget perceptions from construction realities.
