====== Certified Passive House Designers ======


{{:picopen:cphd_designer_en.jpg?150}}

Building a Passive House is not difficult in itself – but just like any other skill, it requires expertise and training. Architects, specialist engineers and construction experts have a lot of professional expertise and practical experience. Any additional know-how that is necessary can be acquired with moderate effort – for example by studying the information presented on Passipedia.

In order to facilitate the practical implementation process, the Passive House Institute has introduced an additional qualification: the “Certified Passive House Designer” or “Certified Passive House Consultant” certificate. These qualifications are protected and apply to the certified person only. Eligibility can be proved in two ways:\\
\\
  * By passing the written examination according to examination regulations
  * By documenting the construction of a Passive House that has been certified by the PHI or a completed EnerPhit refurbishment of a building, where the relevant person was responsible for the planning.
\\
In order to retain the personalised certificate, it is necessary to provide proof of a completed and certified object (according to 2) on a regular basis.
