The RetroPHit Annual - how to participate?

  • Applications will open for site tours to be held of EnerPHit only projects. The process will be the same as what is in place for International Passivhaus Open Days. In the period of the month, you will be able to nominate a day and time for your tour and we will promote it to our members, database, and have our affiliate partners share the event too!

  • Any reading material that is relevant to fostering the growth and support of EnerPHit professionals, clients and projects can be submitted via an online form. This will be hosted on our EnerPHit Month platform and available for download throughout the month. Following this, it will sit on a dedicated EnerPHit page on the APA public website ensuring the contribution has maximum impact.

    Additionally, the content can be from anywhere in the world!

    The only caveat is marketing materials will not be accepted. When private businesses produce materials, we do expect and welcome the materials to include a short blurb about your organisation and contact details. However, the overall content should be educational, not promotional.

    • Do you have a tricky project you can share lessons learnt from?

    • Or a unicorn project that represents one of the global and local firsts?

    • Perhaps you know a panel of specialists and want to curate a panel discussion to take a deep dive?

    • Have some construction insight that could help others?

    • A technical insight ?

    We want it all ! - Send our team the time, date and we will get the session online. You will be provided with a copy of the recording after the event to host on your social media channels and the videos will be hosted on the APA website.

The UN Environment, Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction, highlights that half of buildings that will exist by 2050 have already been built. As a part of the APA’s retrofit campaign, we’ve created The RetroPHit Annual, a platform for anyone around the world to share their knowledge, data, experience, reports, and insights related to passivhaus retrofit.

  • March 30 - Content submissions open.

  • May 30 - Submissions will close.

  • July 15 - Registrations open.
