Passive House Conference, China
15th October 2019

Edgetech, known in China by the name of its Quanex parent company, is to attend the 23rd International Passive House Conference in China.

Managing Director Chris Alderson said: “Passive House is more relevant than it’s ever been, and in somewhere like China, it’s got enormous potential to do good. China is one of the world’s biggest and fastest-growing economies. Its rapid industrialisation has been one of the standout economic success stories of the last fifty years. But the environmental impact has been huge.

“Given that impact, and its vast population, what China does on sustainability matters and for that reason, it’s been hugely gratifying to see it take action to radically improve the thermal efficiency of its buildings in recent years.

“China is making an immense effort to cut its carbon output – and initiatives like Passive House are a fantastic way to accelerate that effort, while helping 1.3 billion Chinese people live in more comfortable, energy efficient homes.
