The two-day program covered all the quality assurance aspects needed to successfully deliver a Passive House project and 12 Metal Technology employees participated in the training.

Alongside our in-house commitment, we are also dedicated to continuing the training of our supply chain and fabricator network – we were delighted to welcome delegates from Walsin and Thornton to also attend the course.

Our commitment to, and investment in Passive House training now brings the total number of employees within Metal Technology trained in Passive House to 16, including two Certified Passive House Consultants.

Across the two days, Tomas O’Leary, MD of Mosart, shared his 20 years of Passive House insights with the attendees. The training also included hands-on practical demonstrations, provided by Dara McGowan from Partel, using airtightness rigs and a bespoke wall sample provided by Metal Technology.

On Monday 23rd February, we attended the Passivhaus for the Public Sector in Northern Ireland event, held in the Canada Room, Lanyon Building at Queen’s University. This focused on the importance of good design: Reducing Risk, Cost and Carbon and was organised by the Ministerial Advisory Group (MAG) for Architecture & Built Environment NI.

The event explored how the Passivhaus standard provides a proven, low-risk pathway to delivering high-performance public buildings that reduce operational cost, carbon emissions, and long-term asset risk, while improving occupant health and comfort.

The day was run in collaboration with:
· Passivhaus Trust
· Passive House Association of Ireland (OFFICIAL)
· Queen’s University Belfast

Following the event we were delighted to welcome several speakers and delegates to our to our HQ in Antrim for a presentation and site tour, culminating in witnessing an air test on one of our Passive House windows, in our new state-of-the-art weather test rig, that is located in our recently completed R&D facility.

On Tuesday 24th February, we also attended Queen’s University’s Sustainable Construction Conference 2026, titled “Materials Matter: A Deep Dive into Material Innovation, Circularity, and Low Impact Design”.

With net-zero targets tightening, and carbon scrutiny increasing, material choices and circularity are firmly in the spotlight. The half-day event explored materials, circularity, and low-impact design, with a focus on innovative and best-practice. There were great insights from leading experts across the UK and Ireland, with real-world case studies, and cross industry perspectives that were all aimed at accelerating sustainable transformation across construction and the built environment.

In his honour and in support of Brainwaves NI, who supported Timmy and his family during his illness, we are putting in 5 relay teams totalling 24 people, including Timmys daughter Maeve, to run the Belfast City Marathon this year on Sunday 3rd May.

Brainwaves NI is Northern Ireland’s only volunteer led Brain Tumour research and support charity. The startling statistics are that more children and adults under 40 die of a brain tumour than any other cancer, yet the national spend on research is less than 1%.

We are aiming to raise as much as possible for this worthy cause in memory of Timmy with a target of £10,000 and appreciate any support our customers, suppliers, supplychain and friends can make.

Training is well underway and if you are local and can make it, you will see the team branded with Metal Technology and Brainwaves NI so give us a cheer along the route!

Thank you for your support from the Metal Technology and Cummins families.
