In 2015, with support from the West Penn Power Sustainable Energy Fund and in partnership with Passive House Pennsylvania, GBA ushered seven trainers through a master training program with Passive House Academy’s Tomas O’Leary.
These trainers still help local architects, engineers and builders prepare for their Passive House exams and careers. Through the Greater Pittsburgh International Center of Excellence on High Performance Building, GBA partners with a variety of Passive House leaders from across the globe.
