Adam Cohen is a recognized national leader in the Passive House movement.  He has presented technical papers at both national and international Passive House conferences. His leadership in commercial Passive House design has made him a sought-after speaker, consultant and teacher of advanced courses in Passive House ultra-low energy design. He served for five years as Vice-Chair of the Passive House Institute US technical committee from its founding in 2010 and is co-creator and teacher of Passive House Institute U.S.’s builder training curriculum.

“As an architect and Passive House builder and trainer I love talking and teaching about great buildings. But great buildings need strong businesses, and we don’t talk enough about how to do that,” says Cohen. “We assume if you know how to build a good building you know how to build a good business. Unfortunately that isn’t true. The good news is that there are concrete approaches that work that result in better buildings at better prices with better customer satisfaction. I’m excited to be able to share these approaches.”

Passive Buildings Canada is an organization that aims to grow the low-energy-building movement and build a more sustainable, healthy Canada and planet. Our vision is that all Canadian buildings will be durable, energy efficient and comfortable through the use of Passive House principles.

Passive Buildings Canada President Terrell Wong said in media release, “I’m an architect who has focused on sustainable building for years and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to have someone of Adam’s experience and expertise help Canada not just build sustainable buildings but sustainable businesses.”
