Student Competition Winners honoured at the 2015 UK Passivhaus Conference.

Passivhaus Student Competition: Prize-giving ceremony 2015

The Trust launched a nationwide pilot Passivhaus student competition, kindly sponsored by Tarmac, in October 2014 at the UK Passivhaus Conference.

Participants were asked to develop a low-energy masterplan for the regeneration of a city-centre area, and design ideas for a new-build or refurbishment project to the Passivhaus standard.

Three winners, one from each participating university, were announced in June 2015. The official prize giving ceremony honoured the winners of the student competition at the 2015 UK Passivhaus Conference.
