Passive house design workshop
Passivhuscentrum holds passive house design workshops that are also offered to consultancy firms on request.
On 26 -27 March 2009, a workshop was held for architecture students at Chalmers University of Technology. The concept was appreciated, and more workshops will be held in the coming academic year.
The objective is to give an understanding of which parameters are crucial, facilitate the synthesis of energy issues at the draft stage, offer practical guidelines and give a more positive attitude to energy-efficient architecture.
