Passivhaus Designer Course and Exam

Posted on by

Whilst Hereford is known as a passivhaus hot spot it does not have the same catchment as London. To compensate for this we push the boat out to make this an extra special course. As well as the unique chance to study in a passivhaus building, this year we have arranged additional site visits to a wide range of excellent projects.

Previous participants have come from as far afield as Japan and Scotland.

We are now taking bookings for the next Passivhaus course at the Herefordshire Archive and Records Centre in Hereford, in September. To book contact Ingrid Bravo on 01752 542 546 or email training@peterwarm.co.uk
