History

Prof. Wolfgang Feist of Germany, co-originator of the Passivhaus concept, and founder of the Passivhaus Institut.

The Passivhaus standard originated from a conversation in May 1988 between Professors Bo Adamson of Lund University, Sweden, and Wolfgang Feist of the Institut für Wohnen und Umwelt (Institute for Housing and the Environment, Germany). Their concept was developed through a number of research projects, aided by financial assistance from the German state of Hessen.
