What is a Pass­ive House De­sign­er/Con­sult­ant?

Pass­ive House De­sign­ers/Con­sult­ants cer­ti­fied by the Passivhaus In­sti­tut is a pro­fes­sion­al trained to design build­ings that meet the en­ergy ef­fi­ciency and com­fort cri­ter­ia of the Pass­ive House stand­ard. They have the know­ledge to design build­ings with min­im­al en­ergy re­quire­ments for heat­ing and cool­ing, in­clud­ing high per­form­ance in­su­la­tion, air­tight con­struc­tion and heat re­cov­ery vent­il­a­tion, while main­tain­ing op­tim­al in­door air qual­ity and com­fort.

Doc­u­ment a cer­ti­fied Pass­ive House, an En­erPHit ret­ro­fit or a PHI low en­ergy build­ing for which you were re­spons­ible for the pro­ject plan­ning in­clud­ing the en­ergy bal­ance and prefer­ably also cre­ated the PHPP your­self. By sub­mit­ting pro­ject doc­u­ment­a­tion, the cer­ti­fic­ate can be earned or re­newed for one per­son per build­ing.

 

The re­new­al through pro­ject doc­u­ment­a­tion is sub­ject to a fee (see Fee Sched­ule).

You don't need to work in a plan­ning of­fice to help to dis­sem­in­ate and im­ple­ment the Pass­ive House Stand­ard - re­search­ers, in­struct­ors, or de­cision makers in gov­ern­ment au­thor­it­ies also greatly con­trib­ute to im­prov­ing the build­ing in­dustry. So if you can't re­new your cer­ti­fic­ate through pro­ject doc­u­ment­a­tion, you may re­new it through fur­ther train­ing cred­it points (CP).

 

The re­new­al through cred­it points is sub­ject to a fee (see Fee Sched­ule).
