The Passivhaus Trust and the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB) have joined forces to launch Delivering Passivhaus 2026, a new three-part webinar series designed to help construction professionals develop the practical knowledge needed to deliver high-performance buildings.
Running throughout September and October, the intermediate-level series brings together leading practitioners to explore how Passivhaus principles can be successfully implemented from design through to construction.
Sessions will cover digital design tools, lessons from modern construction projects and the practical application of Passivhaus on site, helping attendees bridge the gap between design intent and building performance.
As demand grows for buildings that are healthier, more resilient and more energy efficient, the need for practical skills across the construction sector has never been greater. The series has been developed to support construction professionals looking to strengthen their understanding of building performance and gain confidence in delivering high-quality outcomes.
“Passivhaus is increasingly influencing mainstream construction, and delivering better-performing buildings requires collaboration across the entire construction process,” said
Ann-Marie Fallon, Co-Director Passivhaus Trust. “We're delighted to be establishing a long-term partnership with CIOB to make high-quality learning more accessible to construction professionals. Together, we're bringing practical expertise and real-world experience to help people develop the knowledge and confidence to deliver buildings that perform as intended."
By combining the Passivhaus Trust's technical expertise with CIOB's leadership in professional development across the built environment, the partnership aims to make high-quality learning accessible to a broad audience of project managers, site managers, contractors, consultants and other construction professionals.
Amanda Pilgrim, Associate Director CIOB, said: “As part of CIOB's commitment to driving a more sustainable built environment, we're delighted to partner with the Passivhaus Trust on this practical three-part webinar series. Bringing valuable insights for both our Chartered Companies and individual members, the sessions will explore how Passivhaus principles can support better building performance, quality assurance and net zero delivery.
“We encourage members to join us and gain actionable knowledge to help deliver a more sustainable future for construction.
The series forms part of the Passivhaus Trust's wider programme of professional training, supporting the industry in delivering buildings that reduce operational energy demand while improving comfort, health and long-term performance.
Each webinar can be attended individually, or participants can register for the full series at a discounted rate. Sessions are suitable for construction professionals with some existing knowledge of Passivhaus who are looking to deepen their understanding through practical, project-based learning.
The webinar series is free for Passivhaus Trust and CIOB members. Non-member tickets are available, with discounted rates for those booking the full three-part series.
