Sustainable Energy Ireland is presenting a two-day Passive House Planning Package (PHPP)
workshop on Thursday and Friday 18-19 June 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Northwood, Santry,
Dublin 9 on 18-19 June. This follows the success of the initial PHPP workshop earlier this year and is in
response to demand from professionals involved in the design of passive houses here in Ireland.
The PHPP is a clearly structured design software package developed by the world renowned Passivhaus
Institut that can be used by architects and designers etc. Based on a series of extensive and interlinked
data sheets the PHPP 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.
Careful design and modelling are essential to achieve the Passive House standard. Participants at this
workshop will be able to gain an in-depth understanding of the key parameters affecting the energy
performance, thermal comfort and air quality in a passive house. It will be of particular interest to
architects, engineers and consultants involved in the design and specification of buildings and their
services.
The workshop is very much a practical session. Wolfgang Hasper from the Passivhaus Institut will be
assisted by Tomás O'Leary (MosArt) in delivering a two-day insight into the Passive House concept
including a comprehensive and interactive demonstration of the PHPP 2007.
Registration will take place at 9 am on Thursday 18th June.
During the two-days the workshop will cover the following topics:
• Definition Passive House
• Basics construction physics
• Introduce a sample PH project
• Windows in the Passive House
• Calculation of U-values in the PHPP
• Input of areas and windows
• nput of Shading data
• Ventilation in Passive House
• Heating systems in Passive House
• Completion of the example projects
Optional evening site visit to a PH office development in Dublin on Thursday evening.
