Design­PH

What makes design­PH unique?

design­PH is a Sketch­Up plu­gin de­ve­loped by the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te,

It provides an in­ter­act­ive 3D in­ter­face for PHPP (Pass­ive House Plan­ning Pack­age).

It ac­cel­er­ates Pass­ive House design through auto­mat­ic ana­lys­is, visu­al veri­fic­a­tion, and smart work­flows.

Col­or-coded sur­faces make it easy to con­firm all heat-loss ele­ments are ac­coun­ted for.

PHPP-ready: Once im­por­ted, most areas, win­dows, and shad­ing in­puts are already filled in, sav­ing sig­ni­fic­ant time.

It­er­at­ive tool: Provides pre­lim­in­ary en­ergy bal­ances dur­ing design, so you can re­fine pro­jects be­fore ex­port­ing to PHPP.
