Together with lecturing experts from five austrian universities such as Technical University, University of Economics, University of Vienna, Danube Universtiy Krems and University of Natural Ressources and Life Sciences as well as members of the IG-Passivhaus and the Austrian Institute of Technology we set the focus of this interdisciplinary course on sustainable planning, building and constructing of buildings. The goal is to deliver knowledge, skills and methods for a healthy, cozy and energy efficient living.

The participants will be accomodated in a passive-house student home from our partner OeAD-housing office which makes the experience of living in a passive-house even more tangible.
