Our signature event is High Performance Design Meets Boots on the Ground ("Boots on the Ground"). This is a free, invite-only events that brings together leaders from the design and construction fields (and beyond) to share ideas, network and learn about great products that get the job done to produce high performance buildings.
Each "Boots on the Ground" features snacks and drinks, three twenty minute talks, and a mini-trade show with passive house products. Program: 6-7PM networking ; 7-8pm presentations; 8-9pm networking. All the presentations are professionally filmed and available for free on our YouTube Channel.
