Why Mosart

Taught by people who design these buildings every day.

The facts are the easy part. What we teach is judgement, which detail decides the outcome, where to spend and where to stop, because we’re a practising Passivhaus team, not a training company.

Common questions

Which course is right for me?

Designer or Tradesperson, what’s the difference?
The Certified Passivhaus Designer (CPHD) is for architects, engineers and designers who specify and model buildings, it includes the full PHPP. The Certified Passivhaus Tradesperson is for those who build them, focused on getting the detailing and airtightness right on site. Many projects need both.
On-demand or live, which should I choose?
On-demand lets you learn at your own pace and sit the exam when ready, best if you’re self-directed. The live cohort gives you scheduled modules, group momentum and direct contact with tutors. Both lead to the same PHI qualification.
Is the course accredited?
Yes. The CPHD prepares you for the Passive House Institute (PHI) exam and the internationally recognised Certified Passivhaus Designer credential, and it carries RIAI CPD points.
Do I need prior experience?
No prior Passivhaus experience is required, though a built-environment background helps. Not sure where you stand? Take the free building science benchmark and we’ll point you to the right starting place.
