What did you think of the course?
The course was both technically comprehensive and dispelled the myth that Passivhaus has to be expensive or complicated. It drove home the message that if low energy buildings can be practically conceived and executed they have the potential to be infinitely more rewarding and functional end products to deliver to clients.
What was the key learning outcome for you?
The section on thermal bypass really highlighted the consequences of not "building tight or insulating right". While I had an understanding of this prior to the course , the information provided in the classroom really rammed home just how much poor site practice can impact future building performance.
How will you apply what you learned?
I feel much more technically prepared to detail and inspect the next low energy or Passivhaus project that lands on my desk in the future.
