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.
