HCC 2024

We are all working in an industry that is in the midst of transition. In fact we are going through several simultaneous transitions which, together, represent a larger transformation. Join us in downtown ATX for HCC2024 to learn what you need to know about the energy transition, the refrigerant transition, the (embodied) carbon transition, and important transitions underway in high performance enclosure design, MEP engineering, and the policy landscape. Transforming the building industry alone will not save the world, but there is no saving the world without transforming the building industry.


Our Story

The Humid Climate Conference was born in Austin, TX 2016 as a confluence of empowerment and education for architects, builders, engineers, and trades to bring Passive House projects to life. Now this premier conference focused on high-performance buildings in the south has survived the ongoing pandemic and is making its biennial reappearance May 6-7, 2024. Passive House Austin is thrilled to invite you back to Texas to listen, learn and network with industry thought leaders, boots-on-the-ground overachievers, and a fantastic mix of manufacturer sponsors. Site tours of passive buildings and an Austin-style after partayyyyy are also part of this incredible event. We’re anticipating attendees from Houston, Austin, Dallas, New Orleans, Florida, Atlanta, Japan,

We’ll see you at the Austin Central Library this spring as we explore the issues and causes that prevent us from designing and creating better buildings, as well as solutions and next actions to bring a new high performance paradigm to life!


HCC & The Austin Central Library

Overlooking Shoal Creek and Town Lake, the LEED Platinum Austin Central Library is a building shaped by light and designed to respond to the context of its place. Aspiring to be the most day-lit public library in the nation, the heart of the building is the six-story atrium. which provides daylight for more than 80% of regularly occupied spaces. The unique rooftop butterfly garden and reading porches, inspired by Texans' love for the outdoors, draw visitors to connect with nature. Serving as the western portal to downtown, the library is a technologically-rich, innovative community hub which establishes a culturally-sensitive, major civic presence and community gathering space in the heart of downtown.
