• From the 2019-2021 Three Year Energy Efficiency Plan:
• Passive House: offering training, technical support, and

incentives for evolved design approach that focuses on super- efficient shell or building envelope design and optimized energy systems(pg.10)

• Passive House: Program Administrators will focus on developing

targeted training, technical support and incentives to promote Passive House building knowledge and investments that can most effectively promote adoption of the Passive House model. Early work will focus on promotion of Passive House for multi- unit and mixed-use buildings. The residential team will work closely with the commercial team’s New Construction Programs. (pg.34-35)
