Passivhaus Student Competition 2016

Competition Objective

Developed and expanding upon the pilot 2015 competition, the key objective is to give architecture, engineering & planning students a creative vehicle to learn about using Passivhaus principles and provide an opportunity to apply the Standard to their own designs.

The competition will form part of the students’ ongoing course work; Competitors are asked to identify one UK retrofit or new build project and provide detailed design to turn this into a certifiable Passivhaus building.

Participating Universities

The Competition

Students participating in the nationwide competition, will have the opportunity to attend the 2016 UK Passivhaus Conference, receive Passivhaus training & given access to Passivhaus design software, and given the opportunity to experience a Passivhaus at first hand with an organised site visit.

A winner has been chosen from each University, and announced in Summer 2017, with the awards ceremony taking place at the 2017 UK Passivhaus Conference.
