In­ter­es­ted in be­com­ing a Pass­ive House Pro­fes­sion­al?

How do I be­come a PH Pro­fes­sion­al? Can be de­term­ined by the main page first.

Fa­mil­i­ar­ise your­self with the Pass­ive House stand­ard first, by tak­ing our free on­line course Pass­ive House for De­cision Makers and the Pass­ive House Fun­da­ment­als course. Pass­ive House build­ings are en­ergy ef­fi­cient build­ings that provide users with high levels of com­fort and ex­cel­lent air qual­ity 24/7. They may not look any dif­fer­ent from oth­er build­ings, but good plan­ning as well as care­ful ex­e­cu­tion of the de­tails is es­sen­tial in their con­struc­tion. As a res­ult, pro­fes­sion­als need ad­di­tion­al train­ing through Pass­ive House courses.

The Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te has de­ve­loped a flex­ible sys­tem to pro­mote "lifelong learn­ing" and the gradu­al ac­quis­i­tion of Pass­ive House know­ledge: Once you have ac­quired a main Pass­ive House Trades­per­son or, Con­sult­ant/De­sign­er cer­ti­fic­ate, you can earn ad­di­tion­al qual­i­fic­a­tion by gain­ing ex­pert­ise in a spe­cif­ic top­ic (such as Ret­ro­fit, Site Su­per­vi­sor, or PHPP Ex­pert among oth­ers). This sys­tem also takes the fur­ther edu­ca­tion of oth­er pro­fes­sion­al groups in­to ac­count, as well as act­iv­it­ies that are im­port­ant for the con­struc­tion of Pass­ive House build­ings.

Take a course at the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te or at one of our world­wide ac­cred­ited course / ex­am pro­viders and join us on our glob­al mis­sion of build­ing en­ergy ef­fi­ciency.

New re­new­al pro­ced­ure - check in with train­ing de­part­ment be­fore pub­lish

Cer­ti­fic­a­tion

Need to re­new your per­son­al or build­ing cer­ti­fic­a­tion?

No prob­lem! By sub­mit­ting a pro­ject doc­u­ment­a­tion to the train­ing de­part­ment (planer@passiv.de?), it is pos­sible to re­new a cer­ti­fic­ate at any time, even if your cer­ti­fic­ate has already ex­pired.

FR: It sounds like the pre­ferred way is the pro­ject doc­u­ment­a­tion. Maybe bet­ter to re­ph­rase it to say from the be­gin­ning that they can re­new in two ways. You can also look at the word­ing of the pro­fes­sion­als web­site. The certification department recently updated the renewal criteria, so before publishing we should let them check that the information is up to date. Here it could be good to mention that iPHA members have a discount on their renewal fee.

You can also ex­tend your cer­ti­fic­ate if you have at­ten­ded con­tinu­ing edu­ca­tion events and have ac­quired 100 CPs with­in the last 5 years

Search­ing for a cer­ti­fied com­pon­ent or man­u­fac­turer?

Check out our Com­pon­ent Data­base and find our newly cer­ti­fied com­pon­ents, get in touch with a man­u­fac­turer, learn more about our cer­ti­fic­a­tion cri­ter­ia, or just browse around!

FR: I think this sec­tion doesn't fit this cat­egory, cause it's something dif­fer­ent. This would go un­der PHI ser­vices I think and also it should be men­tioned in the "guide" sec­tion

 

First time get­ting cer­ti­fied? FR: I would move these links above, when you in­tro­duce the courses, so you have 1. first time get­ting cer­ti­fied, 2. Look­ing to deep­en your PH know­ledge and 3. Re­new your cer­ti­fic­a­tion (if the struc­ture stays like this I would re­name the sec­tion from Cer­ti­fic­a­tion to Re­new your cer­ti­fic­a­tion)
