The Passivhaus Standard is the fastest growing low energy standard in Europe with over 20,000 buildings realised to date, with many more currently being designed and constructed. Passivhaus buildings have a high level of indoor air quality and roughly achieve a 75% reduction in space heating requirements compared to the standard practice for UK new build.

This introductory course and workshop is aimed at all those with an interest in low-energy design, construction and the Passivhaus standard. It introduces the delegates to the Passivhaus principles walking them through best practice construction techniques whilst highlighting the outline specification and certification criteria. The course will also introduce the delegates to the Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP), the design and certification tool used to model the Passivhaus. The day will end with a hands-on workshop where delegates will use the PHPP to model the most important elements of a Passivhaus in PHPP.
