Passivhaus Workshop in Partnership with the Passivhaus Trust

Friday 21st - Saturday 22nd May 2021

The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfort, quality and lower running costs, in any type of building. We spend most of our time indoors, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing.

The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application.

Take advantage of this free workshop and ensure you have the right team behind you for your Passivhaus home.

This workshop will offer a full timetable of talks & webinars, question time sessions and live guided tours from the NSBRC across various platforms.

5 reasons to consider building to Passivhaus standards:

• Good for comfort - comfortable temperatures are easily maintained whatever the weather using very little energy
• Good for your health - constant clean fresh air
• Good for your pocket - 90% reductions in energy needed for heating
• Good for quality - a rigorous quality control process requires craftsmanship and buildings that are built with care
• Good for your future - the Passivhaus seal of approval guarantees certainty of performance
