Tradesperson Renewal Routes:

There are two routes to renewing your qualification:

1. Renewal via Project Documentation

Renewal via project documentation means working on and completing a Passivhaus project in the last 5 years and documenting the process. If you choose this option, you will need to liaise directly with the PHI.

You can find the project documentation application form here

If you would like a 30min or 1hr 1:1 session with one of Coaction's Passivhaus Consultants to help check through your project documentation please get in touch for a quote.

2. Renewal with Passivhaus Institut (PHI) Credit Points

If renewing through the PHI credit points route, then you will need to collect 30 PHI credit points through accredited refresher or further training courses and or attending CPD events. You cannot just re-take your exam. This encourages further self-development and learning and ensures your skills remain relevant and fresh.

Each accredited training course/ event will have a code - you must make a note of the training/ event details and code and date you attended (we recommended keeping a running excel spreadsheet). Once you have collected 30 PHI renewal credit points, you then apply to the Passive House Institute (PHI), pay them a renewal fee. Once approved, your certification is renewed for a further 5 years.
