The Passive House Design and Construction Course is aimed at all current and aspiring building industry professionals who are motivated to learn how to build to the world’s most advanced and energy efficient construction standard.
This foundation course is offered in three modules (Part A, B, and C). Each module can be taken separately, or they can be taken together in a combination that meets your needs.
Part A (4 days in class): November 10, 11, 12, 13
Registration deadline: November 8
Part A provides a comprehensive foundation in Passive House design and construction. These are the principles that need to be thoroughly understood in order to write the Certified Passive House Designer / Consultant exam. We also strongly recommend that if you intend to write the exam that you take Part B as well, since the exam cover aspects of PHPP and examinees are required to supply a valid PHPP registration number.
Part A covers the technical, social, economic, and policy elements of the standard. Numerous case studies, both domestic and international, will demonstrate current best practice.
