Improve building performance
Learn how your decisions on site influence the quality and energy efficiency of buildings.
Build the practical skills needed for low carbon construction
As the construction industry moves towards net zero, the demand for professionals who can deliver high-quality, energy-efficient buildings continues to grow. The Low Carbon Passport is a fully funded, accredited training programme designed to give construction professionals the practical skills and confidence to deliver better-performing buildings.
Delivered by NMITE on behalf of BE-ST, and developed in partnership with Balfour Beatty, the programme bridges the gap between theory and practical application, helping you understand how everyday decisions on site influence building performance, energy efficiency and long-term sustainability.
