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:Retrofit to EnerPHit: Achieving the Passive House Standard for Existing Buildings (260) ONLINE - AUG 2026
DESCRIPTION:The Passive House standard has evolved over the years and now includes powerful tools\, guidelines and certification pathways which can assist design and construction professionals seeking to retrofit existing buildings to be more comfortable\, healthier and use less energy. \nBuildings shape the lives\, health and wellbeing of individuals and communities. Unfortunately\, too many of the existing buildings across Canada often have significant problems: from drafty building envelopes\, to mold and moisture problems\, to inefficient HVAC systems. \nThis in-depth course will introduce participants to the Passive House retrofit ‘EnerPHit’ standards and highlight some examples of successful Passive House retrofits from around the world. We will discuss the basic principles of Passive House design\, including thermal comfort\, energy efficiency\, durability and health – as well as some of the common tools and techniques for achieving these goals on retrofits. We’ll also review how the EnerPHit standard fits into the larger efforts at decarbonization across Canada. \nAnyone looking to rehabilitate an existing building will benefit from this course\, and in particular this course is a crucial first step for anyone looking to certify a building as a Passive House EnerPHit retrofit.

SUMMARY:From Niche to Necessary: Scaling Passive House for a Resilient Future
DESCRIPTION:Passive House Canada’s Annual General Meeting is open to all members\, and this year we’re excited to welcome special guest speaker Michael Ingui\, President of Ingui Architecture. Members\, be on the lookout in your inbox for the official meeting registration. Or find it in the members area under Annual General Meetings. \nIn addition to hearing updates from the Passive House Canada Board of Directors and welcoming newly elected board members\, attendees will enjoy an exclusive educational presentation that will earn them 1 CPD credit: \nFrom Niche to Necessary: Scaling Passive House for a Resilient Future\nOver the past three decades\, the Passive House standard has demonstrated that ultra-low energy buildings can deliver exceptional comfort\, resilience\, and operational stability across climates and building types. Thousands of certified projects worldwide provide conclusive evidence of technical feasibility and long-term performance of Passive Houses. Yet despite this success\, Passive House is still widely perceived as an exceptional achievement\, rather than an expected baseline. In many markets\, it remains categorized as a premium option or specialist pursuit\, not an integral component of resilient buildings. \nThis disconnect reveals an important reality: the primary barriers to scaling Passive House today lie in cultural perception and fragmented messaging\, not technical challenges. Moving from niche adoption to industry standard requires a shared framework for how Passive House buildings are understood\, valued\, financed\, and communicated. This presentation examines that transition through two lenses: first\, practical lessons learned scaling Passive House in my own practice; and second\, broader strategies that can be applied across building typologies\, firm size\, and geographic location.  \nPresenter\nMichael Ingui\, President of Ingui Architecture\, has been pivotal in steering the firm’s designs\, process\, and sustainability efforts since joining the firm in 1994. \nMichael firmly believes that creative and successful designs stem from an inclusive and collaborative process with each member of the team. In his practice\, he takes care to respect the unique individual qualities of each client and home to create distinctive\, personal projects. Outside the office\, Michael is a painter. He allows his artistic process to inform his designs\, blending art and architecture to create one-of-a-kind spaces. \nHe is also a global leader in the Passive House community\, frequently sharing knowledge gained through his work at conferences throughout the world. In 2019\, Michael founded the Passive House Accelerator as an engine to increase awareness of Passive House and support the community of Passive House builders. In 2022\, he cofounded Source 2050\, a groundbreaking marketplace designed to bring high performance building components to all builders simply and effectively. \n\nThis exclusive presentation is just one of the many benefits available to Passive House Canada members. Membership provides access to educational events\, industry insights\, networking opportunities\, and a growing community committed to advancing high-performance building across Canada. \nFind the Registration Here \nThis event is for members only.

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. To acquire the Passive House Designer designation\, substantiated educational qualifications are required\, which allows the applicant to independently design buildings or technical building systems. A copy of a document providing evidence of this qualification (degree\, master craftsman’s certificate or similar documents\, translated into English if applicable) must be provided to Passive House Canada at the time of writing the exam; we will forward this proof to PHI. Examination participants whose qualifications do not meet the specified requirements\, or who do not provide any proof of their qualification\, will receive the Passive House Consultant certificate. For more information on the distinction between “Designer” and “Consultant”\, please visit the PHI webpage Certified Passive House Designer vs. Consultant.

SUMMARY:Construction Verifier (220) ONLINE - JUN 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 - JUN 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.
