Have your say on the Scottish Passivhaus Equivalent
September 22, 2026
ECD Architects is proud to support the Passivhaus Trust’s work around the Scottish Passivhaus Equivalent policy.
The Scottish Government’s Stage 2 consultation represents an important opportunity to help shape the future of building standards in Scotland – with proposals including a stronger focus on actual building performance, absolute energy targets and recognition of Passivhaus certification as an alternative means of compliance.
The Passivhaus Trust is encouraging individuals and organisations across the industry to respond before the consultation closes on Friday 16 October.
To help, the Passivhaus Trust is holding two free lunchtime ‘respond-a-long’ webinars, providing step-by-step guidance so attendees can work through and respond to the consultation live:
📅 Monday 28 September | 1–2pm
📅 Tuesday 13 October | 1–2pm

“Passivhaus design is challenging and it involves upskilling our industry’s workforce. But that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t do it. We Shouldn’t be settling for the bare minimum. We should be pushing ourselves to be better now.”
