From Vienna to the Himalayas
Sustainable construction training for the Kingdom of Bhutan
Five days training program
Adding sustainability to gross national happiness
In 2019 Philip (while working for the Austrian Institute of Technology GmbH) organized a one-week training program for the Ministry of works and human settlement of the kingdom of Bhutan. It included site visits to various passive houses in Vienna including ENRERGYbase, workshops and lectures on sustainable construction as well as a hands-on workshop on dynamic-thermal simulations using the software IDA ICE.
