Inside One of Europe’s Largest Passive House Development: Pipers Square

As part of ZEB Summit 2025, delegates took an exclusive tour of Pipers Square—a groundbreaking 590-unit Passivhaus scheme by Cairn
Led by the technical teams from mosart and Cairn, this site visit offered a behind-the-scenes look at every layer of high-performance delivery, from first-fix systems to final finishes.

📐 Airtightness, MVHR, insulation, solar gain control—nothing was off the table.
🛠️ And yes, we toured a finished apartment too.

🎥 Watch the highlights and see what large-scale Passivhaus looks like in real life.

👇 If you were there, tag a friend or colleague to show them what they missed—give them a taste of what you saw firsthand.

Collaboration in Action: International Delegates Day at ZEB Summit

On April 29th, we welcomed Passivhaus leaders, policymakers, and construction innovators from across the globe for a powerful day of learning, sharing, and connection ahead of the ZEB Summit.

From deep dives into Ireland’s first Passivhaus public housing project, to international policy insights, emerging incentives, and hands-on training at the National Construction Training Campus. This day was all about accelerating the global shift to zero-emission buildings, together.

🎥 Watch the highlights and feel the momentum that’s building across borders, sectors, and systems.

What an incredible ZEB Summit. We’re still buzzing from the energy, insight, and ambition that filled the room. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversations, and helped make the event such a powerful catalyst for change.

We’ve loved seeing the reflections, photos, and takeaways being shared across social media—it’s clear this movement is gaining real momentum.

Over the coming days and weeks, we’ll be sharing more of the standout moments, bold ideas, and key insights that emerged. And yes—plans for next year are already underway. It’s going to be even bigger, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming.

The conversations we had were not just interesting—they were essential. We left feeling energised and motivated to keep pushing the industry forward.

“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.
