Underlying Beliefs
- We believe in a carbon neutral, all renewable energy future.
- We believe that the built environment is a critical component in achieving that future.
- We believe that the adoption of the International Passive House standard is key to establishing carbon neutral, resource-efficient buildings and communities.
