You are already well acquainted with Passive House buildings, e.g. through participation in a Passive House designer course, and now want to deepen your knowledge? - Here you will gain advanced knowledge of PHPP, designPH, bim2PH and thermal bridges to optimise even challenging and complex projects!
Taking all the courses listed below will best prepare you for the PHPP expert exam - the prerequisite for the additional certificate "PHPP expert".
The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is the energy balancing tool for Passive House buildings and efficient retrofits worldwide.
Take a PHPP basics workshop to learn how to fill the PHPP and optimise the project design simply and reliably.
Enter more complex non-residential buildings in a PHPP advanced workshop. Evaluate efficiency options with the variant calculations and learn how to pre-certify step-by-step retrofits!

The designPH plugin for the 3D modeling software SketchUp simplifies geometry input in the PHPP and speeds up design optimization.
Enter the thermal envelope and shading elements of a project in 3D during a designPH workshop. Discover how to get a preliminary energy balance and optimise the building before exporting its geometry and components to the PHPP.

Thermal bridges need to be assessed and calculated separately with 2D or 3D thermal bridges simulation software, before their values are entered in the PHPP.
Acquire in-depth knowledge on the subject of thermal bridges - indispensable for the energy-efficient planning of complex buildings. In a thermal bridges workshop you will also learn how to calculate these weak points, for instance using the free THERM program.
