Passive House: Rooted in Resilience

Robert J. Haw

A physicist by training and a graduate of Stanford University, Robert Haw retired from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2022 after a 35-year career as an interplanetary navigator.
Now, Rob spends his time as a green-building consultant; designing homes to the Passive House standard and lobbying legislators in Sacramento to enact building standards commensurate with the climate crisis. (He also finds time to tend to his backyard garden.)
In 2011, Rob founded the Pasadena Foothills chapter of the Citizens’ Climate Lobby, an organization devoted to building the political will for a livable planet.
In 2015, he started Pasadena 100, a citizens’ advocacy group promoting 100% carbon-free energy in Pasadena by 2035.
In 2018, he learned about the apex solution for future-proofing a dwelling - Passive House - providing occupants with affordable, comfortable and climate-responsible living.
Robert Haw has spoken widely to elected representatives and public audiences in Los Angeles
and the San Gabriel Valley on the urgency of climate mitigation, showing that individual, hands-on methods to address it do exist, like the Passive House.
We look forward to learning more about this fascinating topic.
