Be­come a cer­ti­fied Pass­ive House Trades­per­son

 

 

Pass the Passive House Tradespeople exam

---

After fix­ing the ex­am­in­a­tion dates, the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te pre­pares the ex­am: It lasts 120 minutes and must be taken at an ac­cred­ited ex­am pro­vider. The ex­am is con­duc­ted on­line as in-class or home-of­fice ex­am by the course/ex­am pro­vider, us­ing the on­line ex­am plat­form of the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te

Com­pleted ex­am­s will be first marked by the ex­am­in­a­tion host along a sample solu­tion. Later the mark­ing will be cross checked at the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te for qual­ity as­sur­ance. The cer­ti­fic­ate will then be is­sued and sent to suc­cess­ful par­ti­cipants in di­git­al form via e-mail.

Re­quire­ments re­gard­ing the ex­am con­tents can be found in the exam regulations and in the catalogue of learning objectives. The ex­am in­cludes mul­tiple choice ques­tions, build­ing site pic­tures, as well as small cal­cu­la­tion and draw­ing ex­er­cises. Take a ded­ic­ated course to be pre­pared!

Some course pro­viders also of­fer a prac­tic­al test on their own re­spons­ib­il­ity, in ad­di­tion to the ex­am­. Par­ti­cip­a­tion and suc­cess­ful com­ple­tion of the prac­tic­al test can be men­tioned in the cer­ti­fic­ate but is not a pre­re­quis­ite to at­tain it.

Work on a Passive House and document it

---

Re­new your Pass­ive House Trades­per­son cer­ti­fic­ate by doc­u­ment­ing your work on a highly en­ergy ef­fi­cient build­ing or a  Pass­ive House pro­ject. This work must meet some tech­nic­al re­quire­ments, which will de­pend on the trade dis­cip­line, as well as on the loc­a­tion and cli­mate of the build­ing.

If the build­ing has not been cer­ti­fied by the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te, please make sure that the en­ergy-rel­ev­ant cri­ter­ia for your trade dis­cip­line work have been achieved. Be­cause these cri­ter­ia are spe­cif­ic to the trade dis­cip­line, your con­struc­tion work does not have to be car­ried out in a Pass­ive House build­ing.
