Every year, much of the energy the U.S. consumes is wasted through transmission, heat loss and inefficient building technology. Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to combat climate change, carbon pollution and to reduce energy costs for consumers and businesses.

Germany, birthplace of the energy efficiency “Passive house”, has established itself as an international market leader in the fields of energy efficiency and green buildings.

Join us to learn more about the opportunities and challenges of building new and retrofitting existing buildings for increased efficiency.

Speakers & Panelists:

• John Briggs, Senior Engineer, Fraunhofer CMI, Boston
• Michelle Lee, architect at Behnisch Architekten, Boston Office
• Margherita Minissi, Passivhaus Institut, Darmstadt, Germany
