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 2 September and will run every Wednesday at 10am, for 9 weeks. The final session, on 28 October, will be double-length, and include a case study workshop putting into practice what you've learned on the course.<h3>Programme</h3>Operational Carbon2 Sept • Where are we now and what is Passivhaus?9 Sept • What is net zero?16 Sept • How does Passivhaus compare to our net zero definition?23 Sept • Looking at it from the top down and setting the challenge into contextEmbodied Carbon30 Sept • Introduction to definitions and methodology7 Oct • Materials: timber and concrete 14 Oct • Materials: steel - and top tips on designing low-embodied buildings21 Oct • PHRibbon demo Final workshop28 Oct • Review and case study workshop<h3></h3>Click 'Tickets' above right to book the whole series.Book block of 4 modules on Operational Carbon <a href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/passivhaus-tutorial-series-operational-carbon-tickets-115092185826"> at this link</a>.
