Bonus: Wolfgang Feist of Passive House Institute (IPHC 2023)

Show Notes

With the 26th International Passive House Conference right around the corner (March 10-12, 2023 in Wiesbaden, Germany), Passive House Podcast cohost Zack Semke interviews Dr. Wolfgang Feist, founder of the Passive House Institute (PHI), about PHI's Efficiency Now campaign and the role that efficiency can play in weaning Europe off of dependence on Russian oil and gas.  It's a conversation that ranges from astrophysics to energy efficiency, from Carl Sagan's stardust to Passive House's potential to help undermine autocratic power in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.

This interview is the first of a series that the Passive House Accelerator will be conducting at the International Passive House Conference, thanks to generous support from:
