Save the Date: Ice Box Challenge launches July 27 - Passive House Canada | Maison Passive Canada

Residents of Vancouver, have you joined the #iceboxchallenge yet?

This year, Passive House Canada teamed up with the City of Vancouver and the local Construction Community to jumpstart the Icebox Challenge. This challenge puts the BC building code up against a super-insulated international high-performance building standard. The contest began on July 27th and will be concluding in the next four days (August 14th, 11:00am).

Two ice boxes - one built to the BC building code standard and one built to the Passive House standard. With all the heat coming our way, this is definitely going to be exciting! How much ice do you think will be left in each ice box?
