3. Passive House For Everyone celebrates the inaugural Climate Action Day
PHFE was proud to host a workshop at Boys and Girls High School (BGHS) for the inaugural ENERGY Climate Action Day, focused on Energy Efficiency and Passive House Building Science in 2023.
4. Celebrating the second annual Climate Action Day
Continuing our partnership with Boys and Girls HS, PHFE celebrated the second annual Climate Action Day in February 2025.
PHFE Presentation
PHFE Co-Founder In Cho delivered a presentation on the five principles of Passive House (PH).
During the session, students explored these principles through hands-on experiments and interacted with sample materials to deepen their understanding of energy efficency.
CTE Presentations
CTE Programs: Architectural Drafting, Electrical Installation, and Computer Programming
Each CTE program presented their work exploring different energy efficiency themes.
Architectural Drafting
Students presented on their creative explorations of Passive House principles.
Electrical Installation
Students compared the energy efficiencies of different light bulbs.
Computer Programming
Students built an app to test if light bulbs met New York State requirements.
Hands-On Training
BGHS Students participated in Passive House hands-on training in workshop booths. They applied PH concepts of insulation, air sealing, and no thermal bridging in this exercise.
