For nearly 30 years, the Passive House Standard has been the state-of-the-art scientific foundation of high-performance and net-zero buildings around the world. Training qualified professionals is an essential prerequisite for successful Passive House construction.

Becoming a Passive House professional is a three-part process. Introductory training will help you understand the basics, while foundational course work will get you ready to build or design to the Passive House standard. After that, a variety of Specialized Courses are available to help you dive into the details.

Custom in-house corporate training is also available. Contact training@passivehousenetwork.org for more information.
