The Airtightness course is the first instruction of the Passive House Fundamentals Series. Participants will learn the basics of achieving a continuous airtight barrier in buildings – essential to driving down heating and cooling demand and achieving Passive House certification. Registration for this course provides access to all four courses in the Passive House Series.

Building upon our one-hour Passive House Primer, the Passive House Fundamentals Series takes a closer look at the key principles of the high-performance building standard: airtightness, energy recovery ventilation, insulation & thermal bridging, and windows & doors. The course is ideal for engineers, architects, tradespeople, and other building professionals.

September 6 at 1 PM- Seminar 1: This seminar covers the basics of achieving a continuous airtight barrier in retrofits and new construction projects – essential to driving down heating and cooling demand and achieving Passive House certification. A good airtight layer also keeps out pollution, pests, and allergens, and mitigates moisture and mold issues, ensuring excellent indoor air quality and protecting the integrity of building components.

This training was developed in partnership with PHN– the Passive House network – as part of a comprehensive pathway of Passive House education and certification. Learn more about the Passive House Training Series here.
