Passive House Planning Package Workshop

 

Sustainable Energy Ireland is presenting a 2-day PHPP workshop on 29-30 March 2010 at the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel, Limerick.

This follows the two hugely successful PHPP workshops that SEI hosted last year and is in direct demand from professionals involved in the design of passive houses here in Ireland.

Based on a series of extensive and interlinked data sheets, the PHPP is a clearly structured design software package developed by the world renowned Passivhaus Institut. It can be used by architects, engineers, consultants and designers, etc. to assist in the careful design and modelling of any building to achieve the passive house standard.

The PHPP looks at the building fabric and key components in a passive house and includes tools for -

  • Calculating the U-values of components with high thermal insulation
  • Calculating energy balances
  • Designing comfort ventilation
  • Calculating the heat load (including Irish climatic data)
  • Summer comfort calculations - and
  • Many other useful tools for reliable design of passive houses.
