A Certified Passive House
Designer/Consultant (CPHD)
What is CPHD
The CPHD certification in Canada is similar to the certification offered in other countries, and it is designed for professionals who have expertise in the design and construction of energy-efficient buildings that meet the Passive House standard. To obtain the certification, individuals must meet certain education and work experience requirements, and pass a comprehensive exam that tests their knowledge of Passive House principles, design, and construction.
The CPHD certification is highly regarded in Canada and is recognized by various professional organizations, including the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (RAIC), the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP), and the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA).
CPHDs in Canada work with architects, engineers, builders, and building owners to design and construct energy-efficient buildings that meet the Passive House standard. They also help ensure that buildings meet the rigorous energy efficiency requirements and perform as intended. The demand for CPHDs in Canada is growing, as more and more building owners and developers are seeking to build sustainable and energy-efficient buildings.
