 +====== Accredited Building Certifier ======
 +
 +Building certification is becoming more and more important. \\ To address the growing amount of requests for [[http://www.passiv.de/en/03_certification/02_certification_buildings/02_certification_buildings.htm|Passive House and EnerPHit certification]], the Passive House Institute has developed a training concept to train more building certifiers. \\
 +\\
 +===== Requirements =====
 +In-depth Passive House experience, especially having worked on several certified Passive House / EnerPHit projects is a must for building certifiers accredited by the Passive House Institute. Furthermore, a building certifier is an expert in the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) as this is used to evaluate the building's energy performance. A high score in the Passive House Designer exam is a good way of testing if one's knowledge on Passive House is sufficient. Lastly, a signed accredited building certifier's contract is required.\\
 +\\
 +===== Process to become a PHI-accredited building certifier =====
 +Several steps are required to become a certifier:
 +\\
 +a) Send CV to the Passive House Institute (mail@passiv.de): Involvement with Passive House must be clear, so the CV shows PHPP experience and that you have at least worked on three certified Passive House or EnerPHit projects
 +\\
 +b) Passive House Designer/Consultant exam successfully passed ([[http://www.passivhausplaner.eu/englisch/planer_werden.html|Passive House Designer website]])
 +\\
 +c) Participation at certifier course (see below).
 +\\
 +d) Certifier course exam successfully passed.
 +\\
 +If all above requirements are met, you could be offered a contract to become an accredited building certifier.\\
 +\\
