If you already understand the fundamentals of Passive House construction — whether through hands-on experience on Passive House sites or by completing a Certified Passive House Tradesperson course — you may be ready to deepen your expertise. The Passive House Site Supervisor (SiteS) course is designed to expand your skills in coordinating and successfully executing complex or large residential and non-residential Passive House and EnerPHit projects on-site.
Created for Certified Passive House Tradespeople, this master class broadens your knowledge of the professional roles and construction activities essential to delivering high-performance buildings. It strengthens your ability to manage and oversee work on Passive House construction sites and provides practical insight into the decisions that influence quality and performance throughout the build. Through real-world examples and practical guidance, participants gain a clear understanding of the responsibilities, skills, and decision-making processes involved in carrying out Passive House building design on-site.
Course content includes construction management principles, the handling of both opaque and transparent building-envelope components, airtightness strategies, and mechanical services—all examined from the perspective of site supervision. The course also explains how various construction-site factors affect the overall building energy balance in PHPP, enabling participants to recognize and manage the details critical to achieving Passive House performance.
