History
Passive House Minnesota was founded by Tim Delhey Eian of TE Studio in 2008. Since then, it has supported the building standard in the state of Minnesota, its neighboring states and throughout North America.
Minnesota is home to North Americas’ first certified Passive House, the Waldsee BioHaus, designed by North American Passive House pioneer and registered Architect Stephan Tanner in 2005 and completed in 2006. It represents ground zero for the World’s leading building energy standard in North America.
