The course prepares delegates for taking the Certified Passivhaus Designer qualification. It introduces the principles behind the Passivhaus standard and methodologies and the use of the Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP) for achieving low energy performance, with teaching firmly based on UK building examples. The programme is designed to prepare delegates not only for the exam but for future involvement in very low energy building projects.
Audience
This course is aimed at architects, builders, building engineers and others who want to learn how to deliver real low-energy buildings. To get the most out of taking the full course we recommend that you need to have knowledge of UK construction systems, an ability to read building plans and an understanding of basic algebra.
Delegates who do not wish to take the exam can opt to take specific modules only to enhance their learning in particular areas.
