But I thought I was joining a group of students, with some form of forum to discuss points learned, clear up confusion and generally share opinion but I seem to be pretty much alone. I believe there was such a thing when it first launched. Fortunately I do know a couple of people in real life who are doing the course but would have welcomed a wider debate on the topics raised.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=299781#Comment_299781 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=299781#Comment_299781 Fri, 20 Jan 2023 19:29:08 +0000 Nick Parsons http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300220#Comment_300220 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300220#Comment_300220 Sat, 11 Feb 2023 11:54:57 +0000 JohnGBD
Speaking of which I have a similar situation with asking questions about PHPP.. does anyone have any recommendations for places to ask those? I had a browse around the iPH forum

https://forum.passivehouse.com

but wondered about any others..]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300268#Comment_300268 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300268#Comment_300268 Mon, 13 Feb 2023 10:58:47 +0000 cc64 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300269#Comment_300269 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300269#Comment_300269 Mon, 13 Feb 2023 12:20:17 +0000 Doubting_Thomas Posted By: JohnGBDSpeaking of which I have a similar situation with asking questions about PHPP.. does anyone have any recommendations for places to ask those?

Honestly, I think a lot of this seems to happen informally through Twitter. I follow at least 4 of the AECB tutors' feeds and there's a fair amount of PHPP discourse there, albeit sporadic.

Not so helpful if you don't already have a crowd of knowledgeable Twitter followers on standby though, (I certainly don't!).]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300298#Comment_300298 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300298#Comment_300298 Tue, 14 Feb 2023 22:49:19 +0000 JohnGBD

Yep, there are some top quality building Twitterati, and the PH Trust's webinars with Bob Prewitt, Harry Patticas etc have great case studies in them.

It's like we need a technical helpline for the more esoteric building science questions Google / ChatGPT don't know the answers to.

Or a forum for, er, green building..]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300305#Comment_300305 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=300305#Comment_300305 Wed, 15 Feb 2023 18:44:24 +0000 bogal2 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=304046#Comment_304046 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17706&Focus=304046#Comment_304046 Thu, 26 Oct 2023 19:04:19 +0100 RobinB
I have now learnt they are planning to relaunch the course next year with a lot of new material and changes to the marking scheme.

The course I took has been rebadged the "foundation course". Still in two minds whether to move on to the Retrofit Coordinator course.]]>
