Join us for this online course in Airtightness and hygrothermal design.

The requirements of the Passivhaus standard regarding airtightness are stringent but clear. Meanwhile, national regulations are becoming increasingly demanding, and you may need to catch up! Creating healthy and regenerative indoor spaces is clearly in the spotlight and on the agenda: a building with moisture problems, drafts, humidity, and high maintenance costs is no longer an option!

Whether you are a certified Passivhaus Designer or Tradesperson looking for a refresher course, or new to the field of airtightness and vapour control, the course gives you the tools you need for basic design and site supervision, for a range of construction systems, in both warm and temperature climates. Through 2 live sessions in a 100% online learning environment, you will be able to interact with teachers and peers, download and read technical documents to consolidate what you’ve learnt, and watch recordings of the live sessions after the classes. The course has been validated by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany, so if you are a certified Passivhaus Designer/Consultant or Tradesperson, you can win Credit Points with this course for your qualification renewal!
