Brussels region illustrates Passive House success
Learning from the Belgian experience
8 October, 2012; Brussels, Belgium: Representatives of PassREg partner countries convened in Brussels from the 2nd to the 4th of October to learn from the Brussels experience. The Brussels Capital region, a true Passive House front runner, has seen a literal explosion of Passive House construction and legislation over the last few years. Over the 3 day event, partners and invited politicians from around the EU got to hear, through expert presentations, and see, through study tours to select buildings, just how Brussels has gotten where it is today.
