Passive and Low Energy Architecture (PLEA) is an organisation created in 1982 engaged in a worldwide discourse on sustainable architecture and urban design, through annual international conferences, workshops and publications.
It is the longest and most established organisation in the field, with a membership of over 2500 professionals, academics and students from over 40 countries. PLEA has 6 elected directors, including Professor Brian Ford, of the Architecture, Climate and Environment research group.
PLEA plays a central role in providing a forum for reviewing the state-of-the-art of the research in low energy architecture.
In 2013 our students Yanti Chen and Mingwei Sun won awards for best overall poster, and the Jeffrey Cook won the PLEA Travel Scholarship.
PLEA 2014 will be held in Ahmedabad in India on the 6 to 18 of December 2014.
