Everyone involved in building design can benefit from this course; we need all buildings to be developed with sustainability in mind and taking this course is your first step towards meeting that challenge. You’ll learn how to improve the environmental performance of your projects irrespective of other design constraints (including budget and environmental brief). Designers and, clients as well as, project managers and, quantity surveyors etc. will all gain a good understanding of what makes a difference to a low energy build.

Have you ever wondered:
The Passivhaus standard is aimed at reducing energy in use, which forms the focus of this course, but we will also cover design strategies for reduced embodied energy and construction waste. Additionally, we will look at both domestic and non-domestic examples, and whilst the focus is new build, the approaches taught will be a useful basis for retrofit.
All trainers are active practitioners currently working in the Passivhaus sector, sharing their experience of best practice and tackling the real issues that projects may encounter.
This course is an PHT Introductory level course and all attendees gain an attendance / CPD certificate.
Deepen your learning and gain accreditation by moving on to our CERTIFIED PASSIVHAUS DESIGNER or CERTIFIED TRADESPERSON course.
