Waldsee BioHaus is the new Environmental Living Center in the German Language Village of Waldsee at Concordia Language Villages in Bemidji, Minnesota, U.S.A.

The building is modeled on Germany’s Passivhaus standard: a highly-efficient building design (beyond that of the U.S. LEED standard) which improves quality of life inside the building while using 85% less energy than comparable U.S. structures.
