Module 4 - Spotlight session 1
Passive solutions to reduce energy demand in buildings: Practical Guideline

When: 30 October 2025 | 13:15 to 15 CET

Duration: 1 hr 30 min

This course provides a practical guideline to reducing the energy demand of buildings through passive design solutions, focusing on key local climatic factors such as temperature, humidity, ventilation and wind direction, and on how the most appropriate actions can be implemented across European climates, using simulated values from three representative cities and climate zones (cold, temperate and hot). Through INTERACTIVE ACTIVITIES, participants will learn to identify the most effective passive measures adapted to their specific context.

Topic:

Scope 1 & 2: Reduce energy demand in buildings 

Scope 3: in materials use and circular construction 

Session Tips: 

  • You will participate in the session using interactive applications. There will be no conversations between participants.
  • Please, don't hesitate to TURN ON THE CAMERA. Even if we don't talk, seeing each other makes things more friendly.
  • Please keep your MICROPHONE TURNED OFF during the whole session so that there is no background noise.

By the end of the module participants will:

  • Reference Guide on Passive Measures
  • Session Presentation Slide
  • Best Practice Case Studies
  • Useful Links
