Studio HPDC

Studio HPDC envisions a world where all of our homes, schools, offices, and buildings are high-performance buildings: maximizing the use of clean energy, minimizing our carbon footprints, and creating comfortable, safe environments for the people inside. At the heart of this vision is a highly-skilled construction workforce that drives continued innovation and learning for the industry and creates meaningful, financially rewarding careers for all construction professionals.

Studio HPDC is focused on improving the sustainable practices of the building industry through education and training and by fostering a community of shared knowledge and learning.

There is an enormous opportunity for change in our built environment through the use of sustainable design & construction practices that can drastically reduce the energy demand of our buildings and help create a carbon-neutral world.

Housed in a state-of-the-art Passive House facility in Newton, MA, Studio HPDC is a classroom and educational center for sustainable design & construction. We develop and host training courses for students, tradespeople, builders, and consumers at all experience levels, ranging from introductory sessions and overviews to hands-on workshops and certification programs. In addition to training courses, we host regular networking and discussion group events and provide resources for all those interested in sustainable construction.
