Minnesota hosted the International Ice Box Challenge for the first time at the State Fair this year! Great results for the Passive House box after an intense heat wave and 2 wind storms. Thank you to everyone who stopped by!
Two blocks of ice enter, one block melts! In a turn of events that will surprise no one, the Passive House box won the challenge, maintaining almost 40% of it's original weight after nearly 3 weeks in the sun, while the code box sweat out to zero! Just another demonstration that Passive House keeps your house cooler in the summer while using less energy. Thank you to everyone to came out to see the boxes, talked with our resident CPHD & CPHT, and participated in our Ice Box Challenge contest! The winners will be contacted soon. Stay tuned for a complete update, including photos and videos from the reveal. Thank you to Passive House Minnesota for putting on the challenge, and to our sponsor, Xcel Energy! #iceboxchallenge #iceboxchallengemn #mnstatefair #architecture #buildingconstruction #buildingrenovation #certifiedpassivehouse #cityplanning #climateaction #construction #design #energyefficiency #passivhaus #passivehouse #policy #sustainability
