5 Hours
£120 - £150
Onsite @BE-ST, Scotland G72 0AH

Passivhaus in Practice is a hands-on course at BE-ST, Scotland, designed to bridge the gap between design and construction.

About This Course

During this one-day practical course you will:

Assess and manage design risks on-site, understanding what makes a design buildable.
Identify common construction pitfalls and how to avoid them — from detailing, insulation, airtightness to sequencing and material choices.
Understand in practical terms what “good” looks like for Passivhaus delivery — airtightness, thermal integrity, correct construction sequencing.
Work through real-life scenarios with bespoke training rigs, simulating challenges on site and learning how to respond effectively.
Apply Passivhaus principles to both small- and large-scale projects — understand scaling, coordination, and delivery constraints typical in commercial, residential or public-sector builds.
