SUMMARY:Higher Tiers of NECB and High-Performance Standards for Building Officials (ON): ONLINE – SEP 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:Site Supervisor (250) ONLINE - SEP 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:Certified Passive House Designer/Consultant Exam (120EX) ONLINE - 11 SEP 2026
DESCRIPTION:There are two methods of becoming a certified Passive House Designer or Consultant: through submission of a certified Passive House project\, or by passing the standardized international exam.  The exam is offered by Passive House Canada in cooperation with PHI. Certified Designers and Consultants will be listed on our website\, as well as the international database. For information on certification via project design and documentation please see PHI’s Project Qualification page. \nThe exam is thorough and time-limited\, and it is not recommended that you attempt the exam without first taking courses 120A\, 120B and 120C offered by Passive House Canada. \nExam details\nThe exam is one and a half hours (90 minutes) in length. The Certified Passive House Designer/ Consultant exam will be conducted in an online format. This format is subject to change according to the Passive House Institute policies. \nThere will be a 60 minute required tech check meeting a few days before the exam date. Details will be emailed directly to registrants. \nParticipants must supply a valid PHPP registration number in order to write the exam. PHPP can be purchased on our website here. Please allow at least 1-2 business days for processing.  \nInformation on examination regulations and detailed learning targets can be found on the PHI website. Briefly\, the exam will include material on: \n\nPassive House definition\nPassive House criteria\nThermally insulating envelope\nAirtight building envelope\nTransparent exterior components\nPassive House ventilation\nHeat supply system\nHot water generation\nSummer comfort and space cooling\nElectrical energy\nEnergy balancing\nEconomic efficiency calculation\nInvitation to tender\, construction management and quality assurance\nBuilding user information and support\nRetrofitting with Passive House components (EnerPHit)\nCalculations\, quantities\, units\n\nThe examination is marked by Passive House Canada and then sent to PHI for second review. Participants are notified directly via email by PHI approximately 4 weeks after the exam of whether they passed or failed. \nPHI will issue either a Passive House Designer certificate or Passive House Consultant certificate to successful participants\, depending on educational qualifications.

SUMMARY:Mastering designPH: from SketchUp to PHPP (210) ONLINE - SEP 2026
DESCRIPTION:Streamline your Passive House design workflow\, easily create accurate shading parameters for your project and save yourself time! This course will take learners from the very beginning up to a completed whole-building energy model using the powerful new designPH 2.2 plugin. \nParticipants will follow along\, step-by-step with a real project\, starting with the CAD geometry\, turning it into a full 3D surface model\, build and apply assemblies\, manage thermal bridges\, create complex window objects as well as detailed site shading and interior room-level data. We’ll also review the overall workflow and how to use designPH within a real project as well as how to move project data into PHPP models. \nA basic understanding of SketchUp is required\, we recommend using the free tutorials for beginners\, available online. It is also helpful if students have completed our 120A and 120B courses before taking this master class.
