The Consultants Training program from Passive House Institute US is being offered in Three 3-day phases in the summer of 2010 in Toronto at Ryerson University.
Phase I - June 16-18, 2010 (Wed, Thurs, Fri)
Phase II - July 14-16, 2010 (Wed, Thurs, Fri)
Phase III - August 18-20, 2010 (Wed, Thurs, Fri)
Members of Passive Buildings Canada receive a $50 discount off the
regular price of $695 (U.S.) per Phase.
The training sessions are progressive, so Phases must be taken
consecutively - i.e., Phase I must be completed before Phase II can be
started and Phase II must be completed before Phase III can be started.
The program is usually designed as a series of three, three-day sessions. These sessions are meant for those architects and building system designers who want to learn how to successfully implement Passive House design principles in residential, commercial, and retrofit scenarios. There will be a significant emphasis on PHPP training.
The Program is an overview of:
- Principles of Passive House Design - Heat Transfer, Airtightness,
Super-insulation, Ventilation and Moisture Control
- Instruction in the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP), powerful
and precise energy modeling software
- Mechanical Systems
- Construction Examples
- Materials Selection
- Quality Assurance
Completion of all three 3-day programs and passage of a Final Exam can qualify participants as Certified Passive House Consultants. Consultants and their qualifying projects will be featured on an upcoming database of projects on this website.
