Edgetech has announced that it will be attending the 23rd International Passive House Conference in China.
Due to take place in October at the Gaobeidian Window City, Asia’s largest window industry exhibition centre, the event will focus on the latest developments in energy-efficient construction.
Managing director, Chris Alderson, said. “For over 30 years, we’ve been hugely passionate about energy efficiency as a business, and strong supporters of the Passive House standard.
“Until relatively recently, Passive House was niche – even today, there are only around 25,000 Passive House properties in the world, the vast majority of them in Germany, Austria and Scandinavia.
“But now, concerns about the environment are increasingly driving its adoption – and those concerns are only going to grow in the years ahead.
“Passive House is more relevant than it’s ever been, and in somewhere like China, it’s got enormous potential to do good.
“China is one of the world’s biggest and fastest-growing economies. Its rapid industrialisation has been one of the standout economic success stories of the last 50 years. But the environmental impact has been huge.
“Given that impact, and its vast population, what China does on sustainability matters – and for that reason, it’s been hugely gratifying to see it take action to radically improve the thermal efficiency of its buildings in recent years.
“China is making an immense effort to cut its carbon output – and initiatives like Passive House are a fantastic way to accelerate that effort, while helping 1.3 billion Chinese people live in more comfortable, energy efficient homes.
“That’s why we’re delighted to be joining some of the world’s leading energy efficiency experts to discuss all this and more in China this October.”
