Passivhaus Trust Tutorial

 

DesignPH is a sketch-up plug-in that has been developed by the Passivhaus Institute to provide a 3D modelling interface that works together with PHPP(Passive House Planning Package).

The sketch-up plug-in provides automatic analysis that can provide quick Passivhaus outputs which can be downloaded directly into PHPP using the 3D sketch-up model. This simplifies data entry into PHPP with a more visual & intuitive process, and provides preliminary feedback on the performance of the design within SketchUp. More information can be found on the official designPH website.

This tutorial, limited to around 20 participants and led by Dave Edwards, author of DesignPH software, will demonstrate the 3D plugin for PHPP. Participants will be shown how to upload projects as well as adjust and update detailed designs.
