Learning outcomes

Learning outcomes

  • Recognise that the university client needs to establish buy in to the Passivhaus standard during the competition phase, and that Passivhaus certification needs to be a requirement for the appointment of the main and subcontracted teams for design, delivery and certification. 

  • Identify how the Passivhaus consultants on a large and complex project can help bring the multitude of design, delivery and client teams together, to aid rationalisation and simplification and ensure that knowledge and information is distributed at the right time, and at the relevant level. 

  • Evaluate how a process to enable people to come together for a common purpose, have a clarity of vision and an attitude to enable the project to succeed, will lead to the successful completion and certification of the project.
