PHribbon is continually updated with new EPDs, new data and alignment with the various standards. An annual recurring subscription enables us to make these changes which you get automatically through your Dropbox or Sharepoint folder (You can choose one or the other).

The first year’s subscription is included in the purchase price.

PHribbon consists of the software and an annual subscription fee to keep it up to date as data changes.

The total package price is £250 ex VAT for non members and this includes a £70 ex VAT purchase of an annual recurring subscription fee.  The subscription fee will be payable annually on the purchase anniversary.

The AECB members price is £200 ex VAT which includes a discounted subscription fee at £50 ex VAT also payable annually.

The price of the software includes a user guide.

Your payment confirmation email will ask for a security code which you get from a downloaded spreadsheet.  Pressing the button in that spreadsheet just reads a unique code on your computer, it makes no changes whatsoever.  If you change your computer in the future a new Licence Key will be sent to you free of charge.

Software will be distributed by Dropbox to enable updates to be sent to you automatically.  Once you have the software, copy it from the Dropbox to your own folder.  Enter the licence key at the top of the Install tab then follow the instructions below it. They also explain how to enable macros. (Macros are already part of PHPP variants version written by the Passivhaus Institute.)

By using this software you agree to these terms :

• Users may not redistribute the PHribbon spreadsheet, or repackage it free of charge or otherwise.
• The software has been rigorously tested and great care has been taken to ensure there are no errors, however not every situation in which PHPP can be used can be foreseen, therefore checks for costs are still recommended. Any mistakes found will be corrected free of charge and all users updated. The user is responsible for checking the figures, especially in circumstances where they are critical. In extreme circumstances the maximum compensation will be a refund of the price paid for the software. By using this software you agree that no legal claim can be made against the AECB nor Tim Martel.
• Costs provided are indicative only and are the best information available to the author. By their very nature they are variable according to location, supplier and quantity. They serve only as a starting point and can be updated at any time either for one project (i.e. changing the figure in the costs tab in the PHPP) or by changing the master table for all future projects in the PHribbon spreadsheet.

Minimum requirements:

• Windows or Mac (no need for Parallels or similar software)
• Microsoft Excel from a current version of office, or within last 5 years
• Dropbox or Sharepoint for us to send you updates
• PHPP version 10, though most of it will also work on older PHPP v9 files
