The One Day Introduction to Passivhaus Training was developed for newcomers to Passivhaus—whether developers, suppliers, trades, architects, engineers, or contractors—who want to learn foundational knowledge about the Passivhaus building standard.

In this course, we'll cover:

• A deep dive into the 5 major principles of Passivhaus, and how we can successfully integrate them into our buildings.
• The myriad of benefits that come along with it and the reason why they are so important in today's climate.
• Passivhaus' suitability for Australia's varied climate, where Passivhaus currently sits compared to code and how it works alongside other commonly used rating tools.
• An in-depth discussion of design processes, construction methods, material choices, product options and more to help guide your buildings towards better outcomes.
• Key considerations to be made throughout each stage of a project to help guide your projects towards a truly high-performance outcome.

This knowledge prepares you to complete further Passivhaus education and sets you up to leverage learnings for better building outcomes—namely, energy-efficient, healthy, resilient and more sustainable buildings.

Throughout the course, you will also hear about case studies from industry leaders in the Passivhaus space!

Attendees will have access to 7formal CPD points for Architects and any new members will receive a complimentary Individual Membership through APA, providing benefits including:

• Course and event discounts to further your Passivhaus knowledge.
• Free live webinars with the recording available in the member portal.
• Access to the online discussion board to get involved in the community.
