From the outside, Passivhaus buildings are no different from conventional buildings, because the term 'Passivhaus' refers to a standard and not a certain construction method. Good planning and careful implementation of details are decisive factors in the construction of Passivhaus buildings, the world’s leading standard in low energy, sustainable construction. The aim of this training for the 'Certified Passivhaus Tradesperson' certificate is to convey an overall impression of the interdisciplinary Passivhaus concept to tradespeople involved in the construction industry.The course will include an additional practical demonstration on air tightness at no additional cost to candidates.
