Summary

Delivered by the University of Strathclyde Energy Systems Research Unit, the BRE Centre of Excellence in Energy Utilisation in partnership with the BRE Academy, this qualification will provide you with all the skills necessary to successfully design and deliver buildings to the Passive House Standard.

You will be required to undertake self-study of several online modules (video material plus exercises – approx. 15 hours) prior to attending the one week’s intensive classroom training.  You will automatically be enrolled for the exam directly following your training. The exam date is 9th June 2017.

For over 10 years the Passive House Standards have been adopted for many building types - both new build and renovations - and interest is rapidly increasing worldwide. The supply chain has matured and a wide range of Passive House Standard products are available.

In order to promote adoption of this advanced standard and ensure that it is implemented with correct quality, the EU funded the CEPH project to deliver robust training and certification for Passive House Designers across EU member states.

The course provides advanced training for architects and designers already experienced in energy optimised construction and renovation.  On passing the exam individuals are registered by the Passive House Institute and can use associated materials to market their services (www.passivehousedesigner.eu).

Please note: As part of this training course you are required to purchase the PHPP 9 2015 software.  This can be purchased from aecb.net at a cost of £140 + VAT for non-members and is required for the online modules.
