Passivhaus Workshop

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 seminars, question time sessions and live guided tours from the NSBRC technical experts.

The NSBRC Passivhaus Workshop - in partnership with the Passivhaus Trust.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Introduction to Passivhaus Principles
  • Surgeries on: Airtightness, Insulation, Ventilation, Windows & Doors
  • Real Life Case Studies
  • Question Time
  • How to Improve existing buildings

We have been to the NSBRC several times now and have learnt something new each time. If you are planning to do any sort of self build or renovation, this is the place to go to learn all about the best approach for construction and to navigate the field of renewable energy, heat pumps, insulation, air tightness, etc. The stands and exhibits cover just about everything you may want to ask and there are plenty of experts to give advice. We were so impressed that we have joined the Benchmark program and have signed up for one of the courses. Looking forward to our next visit!

Very useful information centre if you are looking to do a self-build. There is a lot to take in, so I’d go with a plan of what information you require. Very helpful and friendly staff.

The Passivhaus workshop last Saturday was very good. I learnt a lot from the speakers and also from the different companies and displays in the building. Everything is very well organised. Definitely will visit again.
