Passivhaus in Practice is a hands-on course at BE-ST, Scotland, designed to bridge the gap between design and construction. Using life-size training rigs, it builds the practical skills needed to deliver high-performance, low-energy buildings.

To achieve high-performance buildings, we must bridge the gap between design and construction. The Passivhaus in Practice course delivers that essential, hands-on experience.
This one-day, intermediate-level course provides participants with the opportunity to get hands-on with bespoke training rigs, exploring real-life scenarios and learning from some of the UK's most experienced Passivhaus practitioners.
