The 'How to Build a Passivhaus webinar series 2025' is a must attend intermediate level series for anyone eager to gain practical insights from the UK’s most experienced practitioners in designing and constructing to the Passivhaus standard.  

Passivhaus buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with rigorous design & construction and are certified through an exacting quality assurance process. In this series we delve into four projects, the teams behind them and how they worked efficiently and effectively to design and deliver certified Passivhaus standard projects.

Whether you are a self builder, private developer or social housing provider, this series offers valuable lessons to help you navigate challenges and obstacles in delivering Passivhaus projects. Attendees will benefit from practical advice, proven strategies and key dos and don’ts.

Discounts are available for booking the full series and social housing providers are eligible for FREE* tickets.
