Indoor air quality and ventilation manufacturing specialist Nuaire has released a new CIBSE approved CPD: An Introduction to Passivhaus.
The CPD, which is aimed at the commercial market, focuses on the principles that define a Passivhaus and its ventilation criteria; the benefits of Passivhaus, especially in relation to net zero; along with a comprehensive understanding of the Passivhaus certification process. The CPD can be delivered in-person or online by Nuaire ventilation experts. These experts have completed certified Passivhaus Tradesperson Training.

Passivhaus adopts a whole-building approach with clear, measured targets, focused on high-quality construction. This is certified through an exacting quality assurance process.
To achieve the Passivhaus Standard in the UK, a buildings mechanical ventilation system typically requires highly efficient heat recovery.
