This course also enables you to assess the energy efficiency of any planning modifications and to solve problems with the designers involved in construction due to a similar knowledge base.
There are two approved Australian Passive House education providers who deliver this course and we encourage you to explore them all and select the one that works for you.
A single round of pro clima Passive House Scholarships is available for the year.
