SUMMARY:Certified Passive House Designer CPHD Training
DESCRIPTION:Please note this course is primarily for Architects and Engineers but other professionals involved in building design and planning are encouraged to participate including Energy Analysts\, Planners\, Project Managers\, and Consultants.\n  \nThe Certified Passive House Designer Training is the premier training program for Passive House building professionals working on residential\, institutional\, and commercial projects. This course dives into what makes Passive House buildings tick and builds a foundation of knowledge and skill to integrate Passive House building design standards into any building project.  This course is specifically designed to teach the international Passive House Standard (PHI) to American professionals in the U.S. construction industry using IP units\, and is required prior to taking the CPHD professional certification exam. \nIn this course\, you’ll explore the Passive House principles and how they relate to\, and build off of\, each other. Learn about the performance-based standards that make Passive House buildings better than standard building codes because they work in all climates around the world\, can be applied to any construction types\, and allow flexibility in approaches. \n \n\nThe Passive House Network (PHN) is offering this in-person Certified Passive House Designer course specifically for Massachusetts professionals but others are welcome to attend. \nThe course spans 5 days in Newton\, Massachusetts at the Studio for High-Performance Design & Construction\, Newton\, MA. \n\nNote: All In-Person courses are subject to local COVID regulations AND require participants to be vaccinated.

We provide comprehensive\, high-quality Passive House education to stakeholders across the building industry – from architects and engineers\, to builders and developers\, to regulators and policymakers. We demystify the impact of design and construction choices\, form knowledge-sharing networks\, raise expectations\, and transform how professionals fundamentally think and work. \nPassive House is widely recognized as the most powerful tool we have today to produce buildings that rise to meet our challenges\, forming the cornerstone of climate mitigation and adaptation\, public health\, and equity impacts. Read The PHN Difference\, for a description of what makes us uniquely positioned in the US building industry. \nOur Vision: A sustainable\, post-carbon\, all-renewable energy future – supported by buildings that are efficient\, comfortable\, affordable\, resilient\, and healthy. \nOur Mission: The transformation of the built environment\, using the tools developed by the Passive House Institute\, is a critical effort to combat global warming. We provide training\, conferences\, and other events to both engage and educate design and building professionals\, policymakers\, and the general public. We support the success and vitality of the Passive House community. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Funding Grants Available\n				Funding: The Express Program from the Commonwealth’s Workforce Training Fund Program (WTFP) is designed to help businesses of all sizes respond quickly to emerging needs and keep employees engaged.

Bright Ideas in Lighting\n				Lighting\, both natural and manufactured\, is essential to human health and wellness. The roundtable speakers will share their work in the field\, with a discussion of the whole life cycle impacts of lighting\, as well as the idea of “perception……” Please join us to learn\, and to share your ideas and experiences in the realm of light \nFeaturing Lighting Leaders: \nAlexandra Gadawski AIA\, LEED AP BD+C\, WELL AP – Architect / Sustainability leader at HMFH Architects \nKeith Yancey IALD\, AIA\, LC\, P.E. – Principal at Lam Partners \nMelissa Mattes LC\, LFA\, – Senior Lighting Designer at Sladen Feinstein Integrated Lighting Inc. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				November - Big Wins and Challenges in Building Rating Certifications\n				More info to come – Presentations of built projects by local leaders discussing the successes and challenges when using various rating systems to drive health and wellness in the finished design. \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				September - Member Input & Planning Meeting\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				August - Materials Universe\n				The products we use to construct our buildings and create engaging interior spaces are expected to do more than serve a function or aesthetic. Today’s materials are being asked to have healthier ingredients\, lower embodied carbon and promote circularity\, and\, if they’re really well conceived\, address inequities and injustice throughout their supply chains.\n \nBuilding and product certifications\, as well as commitments like the 2030 Challenge or AIA Material’s Pledge provide us with frameworks for setting materials goals. Research continues to evolve to support\, or even challenge\, the use of certain materials. It’s a lot to stay on top of given that product selection is likely only one facet of our work.\n \nJack Dinning of Brightworks Sustainability\, and a materials consultant to Harvard’s Office of Sustainability\, has been regularly mapping the building products ecosystem\, and is looking to engage practitioners at all levels of experience to share information and strategies for pursuing optimized materials goals.\n \nNote: Attendees will get access to a Miro board prior to the session that will be the focus of the collaborative discussion and once complete\, can serve as a resource for accelerating the work of optimized materials.\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				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Thank You to our Health & Wellness sponsor Superior Essex!\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				*Roundtables are FREE for Built Environment Plus Members. \n**New to the Roundtables?
