  • The mission of Passive House California is to educate the public about the Passive House building performance standard to help create healthy, comfortable, durable, energy- and resource-efficient buildings and communities.  We are a 501(c)3 corporation filed in the State of California.

    Passive House represents today’s highest energy standard, with the promise of reducing the energy consumption of buildings by up to 80% while providing superior comfort and air quality — all at minimal additional upfront cost. When coupled with renewable energy systems, such as solar, Passive House puts true zero energy buildings within reach.

    We are a group of building professionals who have been working together since 2008 to:

    • Increase public and media awareness of the Passive House Standard
    • Facilitate the training of design and construction professionals
    • Develop details and techniques appropriate for California climates and building codes
    • Research Passive House construction costs and energy performance
    • Influence building energy policy by strategically interacting with government agencies, building professionals, non-profits and educational institutions
    • Partner and collaborate with those who share compatible goals

    PHCA is a proud member of the North American Passive House Network (NAPHN) – a growing coalition of independent, regional Passive House advocacy organizations based across the North American continent.  We share resources and information with our fellow NAPHN member organizations: Passive House Northwest, New York Passive House, Passive House New Mexico, Passivhaus Maine and the Canadian Passive House Institute.

    PHCA elected to join the International Passive House Association in 2012, to foster collaboration with the global Passive House community.  Our Professional Members enjoy access to the rich database of information provided to all iPHA member organizations by the Passive House Institute, including special discounts on software and access to the annual International Passive House Conference.
