You become an Urban Climate Architect by participating in the greenpass online UCA-Training and completing it positively.

To qualify as a greenpass UCA partner at least 1 person from the company or organization must participate and pass the online training course for Greenpass Urban Climate
Architect (UCA).

The course includes the basics of urban climatology and green infrastructure as well as greenpass® technology, software and certification.

After the course, participants will have an understanding of the role of cities in relation to climate and the interactions of urban development and atmosphere. Upon completion, they will be able to independently apply the greenpass technology including software and assessment process to projects.

The standard rate for the Greenpass Academy is € 500,- excl. VAT per person.

Yes, the knowledge and know-how gained regarding the basics of urban climatology and green infrastructure can also be applied independently in projects without greenpass. The first lecture of the course offers extensive basics and application examples for climate resilient urban planning and architecture. However, a quantification of the intended measures to optimize the climate resilience of projects is only possible through the application of the greenpass technology.

Through the greenpass UCA training, a large number of the necessary steps can be completed independently and thus the pure costs per project can be saved. The training costs are usually amortized after the first average project.
