The Event
This workshop is open to all those with an interest in specifying, designing & constructing low energy buildings & the Passivhaus standard.
Overview
Passivhaus is a voluntary standard for achieving low energy buildings, far exceeding the requirements of current Building Regulations. A Passivhaus building provides a high level of occupant comfort whilst using very little energy for heating and cooling, therefore reducing the building ecological footprint. Understanding energy balancing is the key for designing a Passivhaus building, as there are many ways to meet the Passivhaus criteria.
Series Structure
This Passivhaus series will take place across 3 dates. Each webinar session will cover a different aspect to Passivhaus, we therefore recommend attending all 3 sessions for you to get the most out of the workshops.
- Wednesday 6th May – Introduction to Passivhaus
- Wednesday 13th May – Passivhaus Design Principles
- Wednesday 20th May – Passivhaus Energy Balancing
Learning Outcomes
After completing this course, you will:
- Be familiar with the Passivhaus standard, including the assessment and certification process
- Understand the building physics for effective design of low-carbon buildings
- Be familiar with the key elements of Passivhaus design principles
- Understand the practicalities and challenges of building to Passivhaus standards
