1 Catalogue of Learning Targets Certified Expert Draft - valid as of 01.December 2018 The Passive House Institute (PHI) has extended the existing training and certification system for designers and tradespeople to appreciate the further education of other professional groups and activities that are important for the construction of Passive Houses. The extension envisages that additional training will be certified as an "add-on" to the previous seals Passive House Designer/ Consultant or Tradesperson. The new "add-on seals" are therefore used in conjunction with the associated "master seal" (Designer/ Consultant or Tradesperson seal). As a first step PHI has developed an advanced training and the corresponding additional certificate ( Expert ). Deeper knowledge and competencies regarding the handling of and the entry of complex data of non-residential and refurbishment projects into the are crucial to ensure the high quality of Passive House projects and to avoid performance gaps. This catalogue of learning targets describes only the additional knowledge and competencies which are necessary to get the additional certificate Expert. The basic knowledge and competencies regarding the handling of are part of the learning targets for the Certified Passive House Designer/Consultant and is here assumed to be known.
