Passivhaus Trust partner with NSBRC for a free in-person and online Passivhaus Workshop. This two-day event will enable you to understand the key aspects of Passivhaus, the application of Passivhaus retrofit for existing projects and to ensure you have the correct team behind you to develop and execute your own Passivhaus ambitions.

Aimed at self-builders, tradespeople and those interested in developing Passivhaus projects, the workshop will offer a diverse and interactive programme of talks, Q&A sessions and live guided tours.

Why attend?

The buildings we occupy play an important role in our health and wellbeing. The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfortable and high-quality living environments with lower running costs, in any type of building.

The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is incorporating the standard before your designs are complete and including your Passivhaus elements in your planning application. With the chance to pose questions to Passivhaus experts, this is an invaluable opportunity to learn key insights into getting your Passivhaus project successfully underway.
