Do you have a PHPP topic/issue in mind that you’d like to receive more advanced training and guidance on? Please let us know here.

• Learn how to approach thermal bridges in PHPP, in the Areas tab.
• Explore designing for multiple dwellings or larger buildings, starting with Additional Ventilation, using the Addl Vent tab.
• Building design professionals who previously attended an AECB PHPP course or an industry CPD on PHPP may value the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and increase confidence and capability when approaching more complex projects in PHPP.
• Compliments the Certified Passivhaus Designer course for a deeper, more technical understanding of the PHPP design process.
• Live, online, interactive teaching, with lots of opportunity to use the software and ask questions, with in class exercises to follow along with and receive feedback.
• PHPP v10.6 is recommended to get the most out of the course (the software is not included in the course price and must be purchased separately). However, it is also possible to use earlier versions of v10.x, there may be some small differences. Anyone using version 9.x should upgrade as we will be covering the whole window approach used in v10.

This is the first of more sessions to come that start to take a deeper, technical look at some of the PHPP tabs and how to apply them to more complex projects.

• This session will eventually become part of a full intermediate level PHPP course of 3-4 sessions plus a practice project.
• There will be the option to book onto the further sessions as they are launched.

In this course we will build on our initial PHPP beginners course, to take a more in depth, intermediate level look at the following aspects of the Areas and Addl Vent tabs:

• Areas: Dimensions using the actual thickness of your roof, floor and walls from your U-values
• Areas: Working out the area of a sloping roof by formula
• Areas: Entering pre-calculated thermal bridges and 2 resources for this
• Addl Vent: Designing for multiple dwellings or larger buildings with multiple units

This will help build practical know how in modelling thermal bridges in PHPP, in the Areas tab, and begin to grow your knowledge and confidence in designing for multiple dwellings or larger buildings, starting with the Addl Vent tab.
