From SketchUp to PHPP: Master Passive House Design with designPH

Streamline your Passive House design workflow, easily create accurate shading parameters for your project and save yourself time! This course will take learners from the very beginning up to a completed whole-building energy model using the powerful new designPH 2.2 plugin.

Participants will follow along, step-by-step with a real project, starting with the CAD geometry, turning it into a full 3D surface model, build and apply assemblies, manage thermal bridges, create complex window objects as well as detailed site shading and interior room-level data. You will also review the overall workflow and how to use designPH within a real project as well as how to move project data into PHPP models.

Students will need to have completed our 120A and 120B course before taking this master class. A basic understanding of SketchUp is required, it is recommend you use the free tutorials for beginners, available online.
