Passivhaus tradesperson
The RIBA Passivhaus Overlay, published by the RIBA in 2022, defines a Passivhaus tradesperson as: ‘An accredited person who works as a part of the construction team. Their training covers all the essential aspects of low-energy construction and what it means practically when implemented on site, including an understanding of energy standards and Passivhaus fundamentals, key aspects for achieving Passivhaus – insulation, high-performance glazing, airtightness, thermal bridging and ventilation – and how to ensure quality is delivered on site.’
