Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) & designPH

 

The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is an easy to use planning tool for energy efficiency for the use of architects and planning experts. The PHPP makes use of numerous tested and approved calculations to yield a building’s heating, cooling and primary energy demand. The reliability of the calculation results and ease of use of this planning tool has already been experienced by several thousand users.

design PH – 3D modelling tool for the PHPP

 

The designPH plugin has been developed by the Passive House Institute to provide a 3D model interface for entering building geometry into PHPP. The benefits of the tool are two-fold; firstly it will simplify the process of entering data into PHPP and secondly it will provide preliminary feedback on the performance of the design within SketchUp. designPH is an ideal addition to the Passive House Planning Package, and has the following advantages:

   

•   plugin for the well-known modelling software SketchUP   
•   project data input and 3D display of the building envelope
•   automatic analysis and simplified calculation of the heating demand
•   3D editing and optimisation of the building design
•   geometrical data of the building envelope can be exported into PHPP

 

The latest version designPH 1.1 does not just ensure compatibility with PHPP 9; one of the new features includes automatic identification and calculation of the shading parameters even during the analysis with the 3D tool, therefore optimisation of a building's shading parameters is already possible in SketchUP.
