Be­come an ac­cred­ited Pass­ivhaus Cer­ti­fi­er for Build­ings

Build­ing cer­ti­fic­a­tion is an es­sen­tial part of the qual­ity as­sur­ance pro­cess. To ad­dress the grow­ing amount of re­quests for cer­ti­fic­a­tions, the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te has de­ve­loped a concept to train Pass­ivhaus Cer­ti­fi­ers for Build­ings. Build­ing Cer­ti­fi­ers are ac­cred­ited by the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te to cer­ti­fy Pass­ivhaus build­ings, En­erPHit ret­ro­fits and Low En­ergy Build­ings any­where in the world on be­half of the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te and in ac­cord­ance with the build­ing cer­ti­fic­a­tion cri­ter­ia.

 

Minimum requirements to be considered for the accrediation

• In-depth Pass­ivhaus ex­per­i­en­ce: Par­ti­cip­a­tion in at least three cer­ti­fied Pass­ivhaus/En­erPHit pro­jects. The can­did­ate's in­volve­ment in the pro­jects must be clearly evid­ent. Pref­er­en­ce will be giv­en to can­did­ates who have worked on at least one non-res­id­en­tial pro­ject.
• PHPP know­ledge, as this tool is used to as­sess the en­ergy per­form­ance of the build­ing. The PHPP ex­pert seal is the pre­ferred way to de­mon­strate this.
• Suc­cess­fully passed Pass­ivhaus De­sign­er/Con­sult­ant ex­am with val­id cer­ti­fic­ate.
• Flu­en­cy in Eng­lish or Ger­man: Train­ing and most dis­cus­sions with cer­ti­fi­ers take place in Eng­lish, and most Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te re­sources are pub­lished in Ger­man and/or Eng­lish. There­fore, flu­en­cy in one of these lan­guages is also re­quired.

Please note that these are the min­im­um re­quire­ments to be con­sidered for ac­cred­it­a­tion. The Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te re­serves the right to ac­cept or re­ject ap­plic­a­tions if it is in the in­terest of the de­vel­op­ment of the Stand­ard in a par­tic­u­lar re­gion or coun­try.

 

Application

Candidates must then send their CV to glenn.yacoub@passiv.de. The CV must clearly state the fulfillment of the minimum requirements.
