SUMMARY:Higher Tiers of NECB and High-Performance Standards for Building Officials (ON): ONLINE – APRIL 2026
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Ontario Building Officials Training\nThis virtual training program—developed with support from Natural Resources Canada’s Codes Acceleration Fund—is designed to equip building officials with the knowledge and skills to confidently review and approve high-performance building projects under the NECB and its higher tiers. \nThrough 4 interactive sessions\, participants will explore building enclosure requirements\, mechanical systems\, energy modeling\, and plan-checking procedures to streamline approvals and support sustainable construction. By addressing knowledge gaps and reducing reliance on external reviewers\, this training helps municipalities accelerate approvals\, lower costs\, and strengthen compliance with Canada’s evolving building performance standards.

SUMMARY:Construction Verifier (220) ONLINE - APR 2026
DESCRIPTION:If you are already familiar with Passive House building design—perhaps through completing a Certified Passive House Designer course—and are ready to deepen your expertise\, the Construction Verifier (CoVer) course will help you advance your skills in site supervision\, building commissioning\, and navigating the Passive House certification process. \nDesigned for Certified Passive House Designers and Consultants\, this master class broadens your understanding of the professional roles and on-site activities essential to delivering successful Passive House and EnerPHit projects. The course strengthens your ability to work effectively on construction sites\, provides insights into the commissioning of energy-efficient buildings\, and clarifies the full certification pathway. \nThe Construction Verifier certification prepares participants to oversee the implementation of high-quality construction throughout every stage of a Passive House project. You will learn cost-efficient approaches to preparing required documentation\, review key construction-related topics that influence Passive House performance\, and gain a clear understanding of how to plan and carry out energetic commissioning for Passive House buildings. \nThe training is divided into the following modules (see below for more details): \n\nSite Supervisor\nCommissioning\nNavigating Passive House Certification\n\nPlease note: This CoVer cer­ti­fic­ation can only be used in con­junc­tion with a val­id Pass­ive House De­sign­er/Con­sult­ant (CPHD/C) cer­ti­fic­ate. Ad­di­tion­al cer­ti­fic­ates (such as CoVer) do not have to be re­newed them­selves. They are auto­mat­ic­ally re­newed by the re­new­al of the main CPHD/C cer­ti­fic­ate. This new “add-on seal” is used in conjunction with a valid “main seal” (Designer/Consultant seal). Those without a CPHD/C certification can still benefit from the knowledge in this course\, you just cannot write the exam for CoVer certification without a CPHD/C designation.

SUMMARY:Site Supervisor (250) ONLINE - APR 2026
DESCRIPTION: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. \nCreated 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. \nCourse 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. \nPlease note: This SiteS cer­ti­fic­ation can only be used in con­junc­tion with a val­id Pass­ive House Trades­per­son (CPHT) cer­ti­fic­ate. Ad­di­tion­al cer­ti­fic­ates (such as SiteS) do not have to be re­newed them­selves. They are auto­mat­ic­ally re­newed by the re­new­al of the main CPHT cer­ti­fic­ate. This new “add-on seal” is used in conjunction with a valid “main seal” (Tradesperson seal). Those without a CPHT certification can still benefit from the knowledge in this course\, you just cannot write the exam for CoVer certification without a CPHT designation.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Control Layers for Passive House Wall Assemblies (200A) ONLINE - APR 2026
DESCRIPTION:If you are a designer or builder who wants to achieve a high-performing\, durable Passive House building\, you need to understand control layers. Control layers are materials and systems of materials that are specially designed\, selected\, and detailed to control water\, vapour\, and air. They are placed throughout the building\, from the roof\, walls\, and floor to the below-grade enclosure assemblies\, details\, and interfaces. They consist of membranes and other materials typically described as air barriers\, vapour barriers\, and water-resistive barriers\, or collectively as critical barriers. \nThe design\, selection\, and placement of control layers can be challenging. Given the highly insulated nature of passive house buildings\, even small mistakes in water and air control can create problems. Simply adding insulation to traditional wall and roof assemblies is risky\, so air and vapour control practices must be adjusted to consider the assembly layers and details. Therefore\, to design and construct effective passive house buildings\, designers and builders must understand the building science behind control layers. \nPart 1 will introduce the concept of building enclosure control layers and provide examples from passive house buildings of air barrier systems\, vapour retarders/barriers\, and wall/roof water management. The session will also cover placement of vapour control with different types and varying thicknesses of insulation and water control for walls\, including rainscreens and water-resistive barrier materials. \nThis 2-hour session will include 90 minutes of live web-based instruction and demonstrations plus a 30-minute Q&A. \nTo save up to $231 by registering for the 4-part bundle\, click here.
