What our former students say...
"I've been a green builder for 16 years, and I came in here and it was like trying to drink from a fire hose."
“I'll say that the course and the Passive House model is very different than I expected. I thought it was going to be more along the lines of inapplicable and kind of niche products and niche buildings. And what is true about Passive House after the course is that it has a lot more to do with smart, high performance building and not just a personal choice. And what I'll take back is hopefully that we can actually start doing passive projects in their entirety. But regardless, some of the main lessons that we learned are just talking about high performance building and the risks of moisture. I think a big problem with current building trends is that we're building buildings partially tight and so there's lots of moisture concerns. And so realizing about how insidious and destructive moisture can be in a a traditional build is something that I took away”
“Every builder should take this class. Period.”
"I received the best educational experience from Emu Systems! Got my Passive House Certification through their program/class. Be sure to take this class, you won't regret it!"
“Thoroughly enjoyed the course; Enrico and Mariana really know their stuff and convey it clearly. So glad I could geek out with the Emu MOB!”

Clearly this guy thinks the Bundle is the best thing ever.
Why is he so happy? He just finished the 2-day in-person class, then he got to build a pod during the workshop using the knowledge he just absorbed during the training AND he is about to take the exam and become a CERTIFIED Passive House Tradesperson. Be like this guy!
