Wonderful feedback from Washington Academy! Great to speak with your students!

Voices of WA! The WA Science Department was excited to welcome Erin Scally, CPHT, Training Director with passivhausMAINE, to campus today!

Erin shared passivhausMAINE's vision for a more resilient, energy-independent Maine - one powered by 100% renewable energy and built on sustainable practices like passive house design and net-zero construction. Students in science and apprenticeship classes explored what it takes to build energy-efficient homes and reduce carbon in the built environment.

Thank you, Erin, for inspiring our students and helping them think about the future of sustainable building in Maine!
