Passivhaus Workshop

Aimed at self-builders, tradespeople and those interested in developing Passivhaus projects, these free workshops will offer a diverse and interactive programme of talks, Q&A sessions and live guided tours.

Why attend?

The buildings we occupy play an important role in our health and wellbeing. The Passivhaus standard is designed to deliver comfortable and high-quality living environments with lower running costs, in any type of building.

The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is incorporating the standard before your designs are complete and including your Passivhaus elements in your planning application. With the chance to pose questions to Passivhaus experts, discover invaluable insights into getting your Passivhaus project successfully underway.

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. Passivhaus Workshop, NSBRC attende
