What can you expect when booking with AECB Carbonlite:

Passivhaus and Low Energy Building Design is rapidly becoming an essential skill for architects, consultants and self-builders. Our course will give you the confidence to tackle UK low energy projects along with more specific guidance on achieving the standard of air tightness and thermal bridge free construction required by the Passivhaus standard.

Our course is delivered by highly experienced UK professionals and leads to international accreditation as a Certified Passivhaus Designer or Consultant.
Our course is up to date and it is the ONLY course developed specifically for the UK using UK building examples, rather than the European CEPH material taught by others.

Who are the trainers?

This course is written and taught by leaders in UK Passivhaus development. They are the experts who are actually successfully designing/ building Passivhaus in UK: amongst others, Bill Butcher, Alan Clarke, Sally Godber, Nick Grant, Eric Parks, Marine Sanchez, Mark Siddall, and Passivhaus Certifiers Mike Roe, Will South and Peter Warm.
