EPFL-ETH Pazifik Nordwest Alumni “Café Scientifique”
Chapter Nordwest Pazifik Alumni
Am 30. Mai 2019 fand der allererste Event der EPFL-ETH Pazifik Nordwest Alumni statt und wurde von rund 20 EPFL-ETH AbsolventInnen an einem wunderschönen, sonnigen Frühlings-Donnerstagabend in einem Café am Rande des historischen Stadtteils Gastown in Vancouver besucht.

Marcel Studer, an ETH alumni, founder and owner of externe SeiteEcon Group Construction Ltd., spoke passionately and intelligently about the origins of the PassiveHaus standard and its emergence as the new way to build sustainably in British Columbia.
PassiveHaus Standard
At one point during his presentation, Marcel spoke about the Minergie system prevalent in Switzerland and compared it with the PassiveHaus standard. The approximately half dozen questions at the end of the 15 minutes presentation were a clear indication of the attendees’ interest in this subject.
Swiss touch
Alcoholic and warm beverages were provided by the venue (Bean Around the World) and a delicious cheese and charcuterie dish (from les Amis du Fromage) complemented the evening and added a nice Swiss touch to the event. Members of the Swiss Canadian Chamber of Commerce and the Swiss Consulate graced us with their presence as well.
Safe the date
We look forward to our next event, much more informal this time, scheduled for Thursday, July 25.
