Passive House Plus teams up with iPHA

The partnership means that all members of the association globally receive free access to the digital edition of the magazine, while all members in the UK and Ireland will receive the print edition free of charge.The announcement was made in the latest edition of the International Passive House Association’s newsletter.

Writing in the latest issue of Passive House Plus, the magazine’s editor and publisher Jeff Colley said:

I’m genuinely thrilled to be able to announce that we’ve struck up a new partnership: Passive House Plus is now an official partner magazine of the International Passive House Association (iPHA). Formed by the Passive House Institute to advance the passive house standard worldwide, iPHA’s reach spans continental Europe and beyond, including affiliate organisations as far afield as North America and Australasia. Thanks to this partnership, all members of iPHA globally will have access to Passive House Plus – print versions in the UK and Ireland, and digital versions everywhere else, including galleries of beautifully drawn construction details of many of the buildings featured in these pages.

Make no mistake about it: Passive House Plus will continue to come in Irish and UK editions – and continue to cover passive house and other aspects of sustainable building objectively – and the content of each issue will continue to be tailored to be as useful as possible to Irish and British designers, builders, clients and suppliers, and therefore to have a meaningful, positive influence on the buildings they make. But passive house is a global construction standard, and we can learn much from understanding how people approach passive house design – and sustainable building in general – in areas with different building regulations, different construction traditions and different climates from our own.
