Passivhaus Practical Training Days
Co-housing, sitting lightly in the environment
Certification: Passivhaus Training Course
Status: Ongoing
Location: BE-ST
Overview
Nothing beats trying out building skills on a practical basis.
As part of the Coaction passivhaus training team, Kirsty delivers practical training for designers and contractors. Coaction regularly runs training courses in partnership with BE-ST at the fantastic facility just outside Glasgow.
Attended by people upskilling into Passivhaus, all attendees also bring a lot of experience for discussion which adds depth and flavour to the training. It is designed to bridge the gap between theory and implementation on sites and is targeted at people who already have good construction expertise.
“Coming along to the training really helped to demystify Passivhaus. That knowledge helps with costing projects and for us to have confidence in delivery ’”
– Contractor, The Seed
In this training, contractors and designers can see how various construction build ups are put together, try out techniques and chat through best practice. The contractor management team for The Seed came along to one of these training days before the project started on site and now runs training for local colleges themselves.
If you or any of your colleagues would like to join any of the practical training sessions, have a look at the course dates on the BE-ST website or Coaction Training website.
