Celebrating PHPP success!
This month, we celebrated our co-director Sarah Lewis, whose work continues to make high-performance building design more accessible to everyone. Sarah has just fully revised PHPP Illustrated: A Designer's Companion to the Passive House Planning Package, now updated for PHPP10 and available to add to your Passivhaus library!
Passivhaus is one of the leading low-energy building standards, and the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is the essential design tool behind it. This book cuts through the complexity with a clear, visual and pragmatic guide to understanding and using PHPP as part of the design process.
Why it’s such a standout resource:
- A short, time-efficient guide for busy practitioners
- Highly visual and easy to use
- Updated for PHPP10
- Ideal for architects, designers and students
- No prior Passivhaus experience required
In a month that highlights the importance of women in science, engineering and the built environment, Sarah's achievement is a great reminder of how knowledge-sharing and clarity can drive better, lower-energy buildings for all.
