DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK The D2.3 activity regarding the Passive House Days events organized by each PASS-NET partner has involved the following phases:

Data collection and selection using the table-questionnaires (data collection deliverable 2.3) containing the main elements of the PHDs events organized by each partner:

Compilation of data received from each partner using the template for presenting each PHDs event per country

The aim of this task is to be organized by partners PHD/open house events in each country. Taking into consideration that there are several partner countries which have not existing certificated PHs or very low energy buildings, alternatively there could be excursions to countries with PHs as well as information seminars. E.g. in Romania, the movie "How to build a house with common sense" (developed within the program "Building of tomorrow" of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport, Innovation and Technology) was shown to the participants. Meanwhile, there are built PHs in all partner countries existing. The interest towards PH is increasing within the public which shows, how important it is to inform interested about the advantages
