DESCRIPTION:WHY IS ENERGY EFFICIENCY NOT SEXY nor BEAUTIFUL?  Why do our national 
 policies favor renewable energy alternatives and ignore incredible 
 opportunities to save energy first?   Join us and learn about a new 
 movement sweeping the country and igniting a firestorm of passion among 
 builders, architects, designers and ordinary homeowners.  Discover a 
 building methodology that is showing how saving is sexy and that beautiful 
 buildings are ones that don’t destroy our planet. \n\nMore than 40% of 
 energy use in the US is related to buildings. Meeting the Passive Building 
 standards can reduce that energy use by 90%.\n\nPassive House California 
 (PHCA) is proud to screen two documentaries that chronicle the rise of the 
 Passive House movement in the United States.\nWe will screen ‘Passive 
 Passion’ by Charlie Hoxie and ‘Passive House Comes Home’ from the 
 creators of the award winning film ‘The Power of Community’ (2006) at 
 the Arthur Morgan Institute for Community Solutions.\n\nPASSIVE PASSION, by 
 Charlie Hoxie\nScreen time: 21 minutes, Rated: NR\n\nIn Passive Passion, we 
 meet American builders hoping to open eyes with ambitious projects, 
 including the first Passive House apartment building in the United States, 
 as well as the European experts that helped launch the idea decades ago and 
 continue to improve upon it today.\n\n\nPASSIVE HOUSE COMES HOME, by Faith 
 Morgan\nScreen time: 45 minutes, Rated: NR\n\nPassive House Comes Home 
 takes us through the beginning of the Passive House movement in America’s 
 super-insulated houses of the 1970s. Although abandoned here, people in 
 Germany carried the movement forward and today there are 25,000 such 
 buildings in Europe. The film explains the environmental challenge and 
 opportunity represented by buildings and why deep energy retrofits that 
 reduce energy consumption and CO2 emission for our 113 million existing 
 homes, should be a national priority. \n\nVIP MEET THE FILMMAKERS 
 RECEPTION:\n5.30 - 7.00pm\nShotwell Zero Cottage\n339 Shotwell Street, 
 SF\n\nA VIP reception to meet the filmmakers will be hosted by PHCA and 
 David Baker at his newly completed Passive House Zero Cottage prior to the 
 first screening.  Special tickets are available that include access to this 
 exclusive event.  Guests will be treated to a light meal, Passion-Fruit 
 cocktails and a tour of this exemplary project.  Our filmmakers will be on 
 hand to discuss their experiences while making these two outstanding 
 documentary films. \nAll VIP tickets include an opportunity to advertise 
 your own connection to the Passive House community, be it services or a 
 local project.  These sponsorship level tickets are tax deductible and 
 support the continued work of PHCA.\n\nPublic Transport: we highly 
 recommend using public transit or bicycles to attend both these events.  
 The Theater and VIP reception are within easy walking distance of each 
 other and the 16th Street BART Station.\n\nTickets & additional
