Passivhaus Student Competition 2020

Winners

Timeline

Returning for a fifth year, this nationwide Passivhaus Student Competition, sponsored by Tarmac, provides architecture & engineering students a creative vehicle to learn about Passivhaus and provide an opportunity to apply the Standard to their own designs. Competitors are asked to identify one UK retrofit or new build project and provide detailed design to turn this into a certifiable Passivhaus building. Students from participating Universities receive Passivhaus training, access to Passivhaus design software and are given the opportunity to experience a Passivhaus at first-hand, with an organised site visit. 

Winners

One winner has been awarded from each partner University. From a regenerative primary school in Nottingham to a floating educational centre in the Isles of Scilly, the winners of the fifth and final Passivhaus Student Competition are revealed.

Once again, thanks to the PHT and Tarmac for supporting this initiative over the last five years. These initiatives really do make a difference for the students and the teaching and learning environment Schools of Architecture offer, so the support is really valuable and greatly appreciated by students and staff.

Prof Mark Gillott, Head of Department, University of Nottingham
