Certified European Passive House Designer

Intensive Training Course and Exam Providing Knowledge and Assessment for Accreditation as: “Certified European Passive House Designer”

For over 10 years the Passive House Standards have been adopted for many building types - both new build and renovations - and interest is rapidly increasing worldwide. The supply chain has matured and a wide range of Passive House Standard products are available.

In order to promote adoption of this advanced standard and ensure that it is implemented with correct quality, the EU funded the CEPH project to deliver robust training and certification for Passive House Designers across EU member states.

The course and exam in English will be delivered in Glasgow by the University of Strathclyde in co-operation with the SPHC and supported by Passive House experts from across the EU. The course provides advanced training for architects and designers already experienced in energy optimised construction and renovation. On passing the exam individuals are registered by the Passive House Institute and can use associated materials to market their services (www.passivehousedesigner.eu).
