Design Performance for Climate Action
For students/tutors in RIBA-accredited Schools of Architecture
This training programme, Design Performance for Climate Action, aims to provide under-grad architecture students across the UK with a solid foundation in climate-responsive building design.
A collaboration between the Passivhaus Trust and Coaction Training CIC, alongside the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), the Standing Conference of Schools of Architecture (SCOSA), and the International Passivhaus Association (iPHA), this partnership enables the organisations to reach more people, and maximise impact.
Design is the most powerful tool we have to improve the energy performance of buildings, both upfront and in use. This new course empowers architecture students with the knowledge and skills to design high-performance buildings, using the Passivhaus standard as a proven and quality-assured route to achieving exceptional building performance.

This Design Studio Practice summary note is intended to support assessment of low energy/ Passivhaus design projects. Our goal is to provide a set of basic questions that can guide you towards more sustainable approaches. By encouraging you to present this information and challenging you on how you have incorporated these questions into your design process, we hope this prepares you to create buildings that are energy-efficient,
comfortable, and sustainable.
