“You can open the window… but just know the Passive House Police have now been alerted.”

In this light-hearted skit, Tomás plays along with one of the most persistent myths about Passive House buildings—that you can't open the windows.

Spoiler: You absolutely can.

There are plenty of myths like this still floating around, and at ZEB Summit 2025, we’re here to clear them up. Through expert talks, real case studies, and conversations with the people who design, build, and certify Passive Houses, we’ll be answering the questions people are actually asking.

Passive House Becomes Policy – Are You Ready? 🚨

Scotland’s bold move to mandate Passive House standards in social housing marks a defining moment for the construction and real estate industries. This shift sets the stage for other regions to follow, making high-performance, energy-efficient buildings a requirement rather than an option. The message is clear—developers and architects who adapt now will be ahead of the curve, while those who hesitate risk being left behind.

🔹 What does this mean for the future of housing?
🔹 How will this impact policy and regulation beyond Scotland?
🔹 What are the opportunities for developers, investors, and architects in this new landscape?

Join us at ZEB Summit 2025 on May 1st at The RDS, Dublin & Online, where top policymakers, industry leaders, and innovators will dive deep into this transformation. Learn how to stay competitive, embrace policy-driven change, and design the zero-emission buildings of the future.
