They are responsible for coordinating with the Principal Contractor, Architects, Design Engineers and other contractors to ensure that the building design and construction meet the Passivhaus requirements.

By understanding the principles of Passivhaus and working with experienced skilled teams, UBCivils can help deliver energy-efficient, comfortable and sustainable buildings that meet the highest standards of performance and quality.
