This presentation provides an introduction to Primary Energy + Renewables (PER), as developed by the Passive House Institute, with new certification tiers that provide a design framework to enhance an all-renewable energy grid. This framework will be further expanded upon at the upcoming NAPHN17 Conference & Expo in Oakland, CA, on October 4-8th, 2017. Details on the event are included.
