Delighted to share the first Marketing Passivhaus episode of 2026, with Wolfgang Feist, co-orginator of the Passivhaus standard and founder of the Passive House Institute | iPHA, as my guest.
We discuss the spread of the Passivhaus concept from its very inception (with an interesting origin story) to the present day, considering what's pushing it forward, what's holding it back, and what we can do to help it along.
Welcome back, as it were, and hope you enjoy :)
Listen wherever you usually listen to podcasts, or on the episode page, which I'll link to below.
