Passivhaus in Practice Training

The aim of the training is to upskill/reskill women and non-binary people in the latest low-carbon construction techniques who are looking to enter or progress their careers in the construction sector. Some previous knowledge of construction and/or engineering practices and terminology would be beneficial.

Who can apply:

Women or non-binary people in construction who are interested in these techniques
Students who are in 2nd year or above of a built environment subject at undergraduate level
Students who are studying at HNC/HND level
Women or non-binary people interested in a career change to construction

The learning event will encompass 1 day of online training in Passivhaus design and standards using immersive learning techniques, followed by two days in the BE-ST Innovation factory using Passivhaus rigs, where learners will gain hands-on experience to develop their practical skills.

Skills in Passivhaus have never been more in demand and are essential to reduce carbon and improve air quality for more energy efficient buildings. This presents a significant opportunity for more women to enter and progress in the construction sector.
