Passive House & All Electric Homes Initiative

Energize Connecticut, in partnership with Connecticut Passive House, is excited to offer Passive House education to support Connecticut workforce development and market transformation in the energy efficiency and building construction industries.

As the demand for more efficient buildings evolves, the need for qualified designers, builders, consultants, raters and verifiers with Passive House expertise grows. As such, our goal is to enhance the skillset of the energy efficiency workforce in Connecticut.

These lunch & learn style sessions and building science workshops focused on Passive House standards are no-cost to participants. Additionally, EnergizeCT is offering a 75% cost reimbursement for professionals who successfully complete and pass Phius or Passive House Institute accreditation trainings. The program runs until the end of 2023.

Connecticut Passive House is offering a limited number of members-only 25% reimbursements,     making your training FREE.
