Follow along with us to hear about the International Passive House Conference in China. When Enrico gets back, we’ll be summarizing the whole thing at the next PHRM regional zoom call! ⁣

⁣“Concrete, feasible solutions available today to solve the Climate Crisis”. Wolfgang Feist fires up the 23rd International Passive House Conference in Gaobeidian, China. Building energy efficiency is a huge part of the Climate Crisis solution, and Passive House buildings are its cornerstone. This is why we are here today, and together we can make it. #climatechange #solution #international #cooperation #iphc2019 #iphc23⁣

⁣Great to see Passive House catching so much attention in China! Heaps of (huge) projects, dozens of certified components, and countless professionals are contributing to a healthier, more energy efficient future for this country and for everyone. This is one of the solutions we need for the Climate Crisis we’re facing. #climatecrisis #climatesolutions #conference #passivehouse #neverstoplearning #healthyhome #energyefficiency #indoorairquality

And we're off! Off-grid, that is. (giggle 😬). Come. Say hi today until 6pm, or tomorrow 10am to 6pm, or Sunday 10am to 5pm, at the #offgridexpo at JeffCo fairgrounds - #Golden #Colorado . We're here promoting #passhivehouse #designbuild as a pathway to #selfreliance in #construction

Always so nice to catch up with the first pioneer of our Pilot Program, @beartoothpassivehouse . We nabbed these photos off him last night, showing the beautiful #beetlekill pine that he’s just finished installing. Make sure to sign up for our #newsletter to get a full update on our #PilotProgram - we’re working on getting one out in the next few days, highlighting the work of our other amazing Pilot Projects across the Rocky Mountains. NOTE: We are still seeking warmer climates to join the fun! Sign up at www.emu.systems ⁣

Hey #Denver #Colorado - we just added a TON of “#greenbuilding” events to our Denver Green Building Meetup group. Check them out! #runwildbuildpassive #lovethisplacedenver https://www.meetup.com/denvergreenbuilding/events/ @emumariana @emuenrico

We’ll be exhibiting at @offgridexpo at the Jefferson County Fairgrounds in Golden, CO October 4-6, 2019. Come by to check out the best gear for your #offgrid adventure lifestyle, as well as educational sessions on #selfreliance in the great outdoors! Use promo code BOGO for buy one get one tickets. Tickets are $8 at offgridexpo.com, $10 at the door. There will be food trucks, a beer garden, live music and education sessions about getting off the grid (maybe even an Emu education session… tay tuned). ⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣For those who don’t get why we’d be at an off-grid expo - the Passive standard allows for a streamlined path to #zeroenergy living, because it focuses your construction process on #conservation before #compensation. Reduce the amount of energy your off-grid building needs, and reduce the number of #solarpanels you need to power on. ⁣

Hey #collrado #realtors - if you're at the #refreshexpo and curious about "#Greenbuilding" (and why we hate that word), head over to Breakout Track 2 at 2pm to see @emumariana talk about how to redefine #realestatevalue and sell #highperformance #buildings.

Three Emu Pilot Projects now under construction throughout the beautiful Rocky Mountains - one in Red Lodge, Montana (see @beartoothpassivehouse), one in Jackson Hole, Wyoming (Alex - get on Instagram!), and one in Fort Collins, Colorado (pictured here with architect/builder/owner @greg8356 ). ⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣We believe that the future of the construction industry lies in the standardization and simplification of advanced building science through virtual prototyping and dynamic simulation. NOT using simulation to predict the reality of a job site is a substantial competitive disadvantage.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣Building anything physical is about trying, failing, learning, and making it better the next time. Virtually tested systems allow us to fail faster, more times, for less money, and no risk.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣Emu’s Pilot Program is one of the first of its kind, designed to put our money where our mouth is. To qualify to be a pilot project, we ask that you commit to using Emu’s construction system and to participate in our data collection. In exchange, you’ll receive high quality consulting to bring your project to Passive House certification at reduced fees.⁣
⁣.⁣
⁣Our construction system is not meant to reinvent the wheel. It’s a Passive House certified, on/off-site, climate-specific, light-frame, residential system. It’s an enhanced version of typical North American stick frame construction, with insulation levels adjusted to climate zone, allowing for a range of vapor-open insulation type (foam-free above grade). Assemblies and junctions have been developed with the intent of reaching Passive House performance. ⁣

Big thank you to our amazing advisors for another fun and successful State of the Emunion Quarterly Address. The continued support of experienced colleagues is what helps us grow as a company. #RunWildBuildPassive

Big congratulations on the official news from @passive_house_international that our May class of #CPHT builders in #Denver #Colorado achieved a 100% pass rate! Bonus: our partners and friends @gbapgh in #Pittsburgh also got a 100% pass rate. One of the students from our February Denver class called our Emu textbook (which is used in Pittsburgh and several other locations starting this year) the “Bible of #PassiveHouse”. We love it!

Happy #MandelaDay to all of our fellow builders. The big lesson from our national @naphnetwork conference a couple weeks ago was to “build the world we want”. No better time than now to remember how this applies to everything, not just #PassiveHouse construction. Make peace and build, from your friends at Emu. ⁣

Little bit of fun news at the end of the #naphn19 conference yesterday. We’re excited to announce a new partnership with NAPHN as their curriculum providers for the Certified Passive House Tradesperson course - workforce training in #airtightness, #moisture management, #indoorairquality and more.

Incredible practical advice from #naphn19 closing plenary panel on next steps conference goers can take
.
.
Meet people where they are. Don’t expect a level of experience that they may not have. Don’t undersell your own skills.
.
.
Outreach. Education, training, advocacy, making everyone aware. You are the ambassadors of the movement.
.
.
Make friends with your local policy makers and tell them what we’re doing. We are the yay-sayers. Super high carbon emission targets are possible and Passive House can deliver
.
.
Take booths at the mortgage real estate conferences. Make the money aware about the value add and value proposition you bring.
.
.
Empower yourself as leaders. It is time to shoulder the burden of responsibility. If you’re already a leader, transfer that sense of ownership. .

The #climate crisis is an identity crisis for the #construction industry. Interesting discussion coming up in the closing plenary panel for #NAPHN19 . Get in here, people! Room 1! There’s going to be a little Emu related announcement as well ;)

Inspiring talk from @nycmayorsoffice about the urgency for massive transformation and the need for “an army” of professionals trained to make that transformation. Thank you to #NYC for leading the way with the #climatemobilizationact . We have to massively change the way we build AND we have to retrofit an aging and underperforming building stock. Let’s get to work! #naphn19

So excited to see @naphnetwork #policy guide - will help those of us who already believe in #PassiveHouse to communicate the value to our lawmakers and communities

We’re building the world we want because it’s the world we NEED! Yay, kickoff party last night for @naphnetwork #naphn19 conference on #PassiveHouse as the #construction of the future
