Planning

Any Passive House project must be planned based on an energy balance.

The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is an effective and user-friendly energy balancing tool allowing designers to plan and optimise Passive Houses buildings. It supports all details which need to be considered when planning a Passive House: insulation, airtightness, thermal bridge free design, Passive House windows, ventilation, heating loads, heating, summer comfort etc.

PHPP energy balances take into account all energy losses and gains
