GERNOT VALLENTIN, Dipl. Ing. Architekt
Architektur-Werkstatt Vallentin, Germany
For over 25 years Gernot’s primary architectural focus has been on sustainability and energy efficiency. Since 1993 he has developed and managed large Passive House building projects from the design stage to site supervision.
His experience includes day care centres, schools, office buildings and commercial buildings. Over the course of Gernot’s career, he has worked on projects in Germany, China, Korea, and Estonia.
In Gernot’s practice, the Passive House standard is the minimum energy standard of all their projects. The drive for his architecture is based on the great joy of creating something. In his contributions to the built environment, a key focus is to establish a relationship between human beings and nature through design and use of materials that reflect a natural state of the environment.
Gernot will present at the Passive House Canada Conference on November 8, 2018.
