Across three focused sessions, the series brings together industry experts to examine the practical application of digital design tools, real-world project insights, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Attendees will gain a rounded understanding of how Passivhaus can be implemented at scale - supporting better building performance, improved quality assurance, and robust compliance pathways.

First in the series

The first webinar in our series explores two contrasting Passivhaus case studies and the digital workflows that supported their delivery, highlighting the opportunities and challenges of different modern methods of construction.

Using both completed and in-construction projects, the session will examine how teams navigated design coordination, quality assurance and on-site delivery to achieve high-performance outcomes.

Key topics:

Digital-first delivery lessons
Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) in Passivhaus delivery
Challenges and benefits of:
- Light Gauge Steel Frame (LGSF) - Palomar Court
- Timber Frame - Glyn Coch
Coordination, quality assurance and risk mitigation
What went wrong, what went right, and lessons learned from live projects
Using digital tools to support successful Passivhaus outcomes

Takeaway:

Members will gain a practical comparison of two Passivhaus delivery approaches, with real-world insights into:

digital workflows,

MMC decision-making,
construction challenges,
and lessons learned that can inform future project delivery.
