As our climate warms, minimising the risks of overheating in new and existing buildings must be addressed. As a comfort-driven approach, the Passivhaus standard includes an overheating criterion that internal temperatures do not exceed 25ºC for more than 10% of the year, and best practice is a maximum of 0-2%.
The stress testing element of the Trust's overheating PHPP plug-in has been integrated into the new iteration of PHPP10. If you are a PHPP9 user, the stress testing feature is still included in our freely available plug-in. Other features of our plug-in including the detailed risk log and overheating heating key indicators designed for use with PHPP9, can now be run with PHPP10, by downloading our free PHPP10 compatible plug-in. Our detailed guidance, covers design strategies to reduce risk, key indicators of the likelihood of risk, and a series of stress tests that apply to all users.
The Keeping Cool: avoiding overheating risks short-course is now available on-demand! The course opens with a short introduction to the new overheating stress test in PHPP10 (see above) assisting designers to ensure summer comfort in their buildings. The first module introduces our technical overheating guidance, with a second module covering how to use our plug-in.
