Course attended: Bitesize Passivhaus Course - June 2024
What did you think of the course?
The comprehensive overview of the Passive House philosophy and its translation into built forms. The interactive discussions with the tutor and fellow students was very enjoyable and useful.
What was the key learning outcome for you?
To consider the Passive Principles at the earliest stages of design starting with the Form Factor - strive to achieve a "new beautiful" design discipline using these principles.
How will you apply what you learned?
I am able to assess both existing projects and new projects with a Passive House checklist for energy efficiency - form, detailing and specification choices. Aim to achieve simplicity in design.
"The Bitesize course is very helpful to reassess basic design approach to any project, small or large."
