Biography

A physicist by training, Wolfgang Feist has worked tirelessly on the improvement of energy efficiency in buildings since 1980, having developed and constructed the first Passive House in 1991. With the founding of the Passive House Institute in 1996, he created an independent research institution that aids architects, engineers and component manufacturers in the development of highly efficient buildings and components. Feist was awarded the German Environmental Award in 2001 and the Göteborg International Environment Prize in 2003. In 2013, he was awarded the Honorary Fellowship by the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). To this day he plays a key role in the development of the Passive House Standard. In addition to scientific direction of the Passive House Institute, Dr. Feist served as a professor of building physics at the University of Innsbruck until his retirement 2019 and holds several honorary professorships.
