Attendees will leave the course with a fundamental understanding of the elements of Passive House Design. Participants will also have an opportunity to explore the business case for designing and building to the Passive House Standard, including total costs and long-term energy savings. Following this course participants will have an overview of the key principles and concept of the Passive House Standard. Participants will be able to generally differentiate sustainable constructions from others and will be able to analyze projects more in depth.
