The 28th International Passive House Conference will take place on 24–25 April 2026 at the 'Haus der Technik' in Essen, Germany, bringing together hundreds of building‑sector experts from around the world to advance energy‑efficient construction and renovation. Under the motto 'Driving Transformation with Energy Efficiency!', the conference marks a milestone year, celebrating both the 30th anniversary of the Passive House Institute and the 35th anniversary of the first Passive House in Darmstadt‑Kranichstein. Participants will benefit from a rich programme of lectures, workshops, and networking opportunities designed to accelerate the transition to a climate‑friendly, future‑proof building stock.

Alongside the main conference, attendees can explore the specialist Passive House Exhibition, featuring leading manufacturers of high‑quality components such as insulation materials, high‑performance windows, and advanced ventilation systems with heat recovery. Building tours on 26 April will offer first‑hand insights into exemplary Passive House projects in the region, while workshops and stakeholder meetings earlier in the week provide additional opportunities for deep technical exchange. The event offers a unique platform for professionals committed to shaping the next generation of sustainable buildings.
