Session VI: Passive House design tools

Fiday, 25 April 2014

16:00
Gernot Vallentin | Design principles for Passive House buildings: illustration of completed day-care centres

This paper discusses the connections and reciprocal effects between the concept design and energy-focused construction of Passive House day care centres, urban planning and functional requirements, and design.

16:25
Zeno Bastian | Variant calculations and economic assessment with PHPP 9

The upcoming version 9 of the PHPP allows the user to calculate several designs of the same building. The findings are displayed in parallel and updated in real time. Two designs can also be selected for their energy demand and financial feasibility to be compared in depth.

Pia Regner | Simulation and construction of cost-effective Passive House schools with minimised mechanical systmes

Despite high heat input from a large number of users, many public Passive House new builds and retrofits use at least two heat distribution systems. This paper refers to simulations of an annex to the public trade high school complex in Ansbach and discusses its energy concept in order to analyze how doing away with radiators in the classrooms affects usage quality, energy consumption, and financial aspects. Financial information on several public Passive House construction projects is also provided for comparison.

17:15
Alexandre Schütze | Sensitivity analysis with PHPP

This paper shows how statistical analysis of existing PHPPs can provide valuable insights for planning multi-family dwellings. The main parameters are identified using a sensitivity analysis, and a method for estimating heating energy demand is presented.
