While many firms are pursuing Passive House\, they may not need their entire staff to hold professional certifications. This course bridges that gap by focusing on the architect’s responsibility as the central coordinator of a Passive House project\, helping you understand how to avoid common mistakes and drive cost-effective solutions.  \nThe curriculum illustrates how early design decisions–such as building form–directly impact mechanical requirements and project viability. Participants navigate an integrated design process where architectural\, engineering\, and construction workflows co-evolve to meet Passive House standards.   \nKey topics include designing for airtightness\, cost optimization\, energy budgets\, and complex building transitions. We also examine the architect’s vital role in delivering buildable construction documents and managing construction-phase quality control. This training provides a framework for navigating the specific architectural challenges of a successful Passive House delivery.  \nThis webinar is eligible for 2 AIA LU / HSW\, 1 Phius and 2 PHI continuing education credits. \nThis is a live\, virtual training led by Beth Campbell with Passive House Massachusetts. A zoom link will be provided after registration. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Beth Campbell\, CPHB\, CPHT\, is the Education Program Director at Passive House Massachusetts with over 20 years of hands-on experience in residential passive building construction. Beth’s background as a high performance builder and project manager gives her a uniquely grounded understanding of real-world project challenges. She has a proven track record of delivering innovative net-zero and passive single-family and “missing middle” residential projects\, and previously focused on improving panelized construction methods at Unity Homes/Bensonwood in New England. As a Phius Certified Builder course Instructor\, a PHI Certified Tradesperson\, and Chair of Passive House Rhode Island\, Beth is deeply committed to empowering emerging high performance professionals by sharing practical\, field-tested strategies to navigate challenges and achieve successful passive buildings. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Register here\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learning Objectives\n 1. Define the architect’s specific responsibilities as the central coordinator within the integrated design\, engineering\, and construction workflows required to meet Passive House performance standards.2. Evaluate the systemic impact of early-stage design decisions\, such as building massing\, on a project’s energy budget\, mechanical system requirements\, and overall cost optimization.3. Identify strategies for maintaining control-layer continuity across complex architectural transitions and high-risk building penetrations\, including podiums\, shafts\, and utility interfaces.4. Analyze the shifts in documentation and construction-phase oversight necessary to ensure that certification targets and prescriptive specifications are accurately translated from the drawing set to the field. \n \n \n \n \n \n Funding Grants Available: September 22nd\, 2026\n The Express Grant is designed to help businesses respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.
