The increased focus on the Climate Emergency has led to a stream of declarations to achieve Net Zero. But what does that actually mean to the built environment? Do we really know how to design and deliver a true net-zero building? Based on the successful Passivhaus Masterclass, this tutorial series explores the issues around net zero, providing practical illustrations of what it takes to achieve both net zero operational energy and net zero embodied energy, and highlighting what can be done at design stage to achieve the biggest impact. It also explains how Passivhaus Classic, Plus and Premium can be used to support a net-zero design.Each live tutorial includes a presentation and Q&A, allowing the opportunity for full discussion and workshopping. New dates have been scheduled to meet demand - this tutorial series starts on 28 May and will run every Thursday at 10am, for 8 weeks. The final session, on 16 July, will be double-length, and include a case study workshop putting into practice what you've learned on the course.<h3>Programme</h3>Operational Carbon - <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/passivhaus-tutorial-series-operational-carbon-tickets-104050963232">book block of 4 modules</a>28 May • Where are we now and what is Passivhaus?4 June • What is net zero?11 June • How does Passivhaus compare to our net zero definition?18 June • Looking at it from the top down and setting the challenge into contextEmbodied Carbon - <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/passivhaus-tutorial-series-embodied-carbon-tickets-104058002286">book block of 4 modules</a>25 June • Introduction to definitions and methodology2 July • Materials: timber and concrete 9 July • Materials: steel - and top tips on designing low-embodied buildings16 July • PHRibbon demo PLUS case study workshop<h3></h3><h3>PHI credit points</h3>Earn points towards the renewal of your Certified Passivhaus Consultant/Designer qualification - attendance of the complete tutorial series offers 6 PHI credit points.<h3>Recording</h3>Please note tutorials will be recorded, and will be made available for online viewing to attendees after each event.

This knowledge will give us great backup in trying to persuade the industry to build better." Bill Butcher, Green Building Store"I use the lessons learnt from the Zero Carbon Masterclass every day and we have now started incorporating many of the things discussed as standard - super helpful." Emma Mathias-Jones, Greengauge"The Passivhaus masterclass was a great way to understand the route to zero carbon and balancing the challenges we face in achieving a true zero carbon in construction and in use." James Turner, Mikhail Riches
