Exam setup
As a prerequisite for the examination, candidates must first submit a homework assignment (setting up a PHPP for a non-residential building), which will be issued upon written request. They can then take the PHPP expert exam, which lasts 90 minutes (processing time only) and is divided in two parts: Multiple Choice tasks (45 minutes paper exam) and practical input in PHPP (45 minutes laptop exam).
- The paper exam is similar to the Certified Passive House Designer/Consultant exam.
- For the laptop exam, you will receive a partly prefilled PHPP file on a USB stick and a printed document with the tasks.
Learning targets
The basic knowledge and competencies regarding the handling of PHPP is part of the exam for the “Certified Passive House Designer/Consultant” and is assumed to be known. Thus the PHPP expert exam covers tasks regarding deeper PHPP knowledge and questions about the entry of complex buildings (residential and non-residential, new buildings and refurbishments). To prepare for the exam, you may take part in a dedicated range of Passive House Tools Workshops and check the PHPP Expert Learning targets.
