- \\ **The PHPP can be used all over the world and is now available in several languages**  ([[http://passiv.de/en/04_phpp/03_languages/03_languages.php|PHPP in other languages]]). Some of the translated versions contain additional calculations based on regional standards (similar to the German EnEV) in order to allow use as official verification of energy efficiency in the respective countries.
-Up to PHPP version9, some PHPP calculations are based on the assumption that the building under consideration is located in the Northern Hemisphere. The PHPP can also be used for locations in the Southern Hemisphere, but a specific approach described in the PHPP manual must be adopted for this purpose. As of PHPP version10 this work around is no longer necessary. \\ Further information and tools can be found in the section [[.:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package:climate_data_tool_for_the_southern_hemisphere|]]. \\

 The first edition of the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) was released in 1998 and has been continuously further developed since then. New modules which were important for planning were added later on, including advanced calculations for window parameters, shading, heating load and summer behaviour, cooling and dehumidification demands, cooling load, ventilation for large objects and non-residential buildings, taking into account of renewable energy sources and refurbishment of existing buildings (EnerPHit). The PHPP is continuously being validated and expanded in line with measured values and new findings.

 ===== Conclusion - More than just an energy balance! =====
-The **Passive House Planning Package (PHPP)**  (order [[http://passiv.de/literaturbestellung/index.php/en/?task=view&category_id=1|here]]) is a design tool which enables architects and designers to professionally plan and optimise their Passive House design. The PHPP contains dimensioning tools for windows (with regard to optimal thermal comfort), home ventilation (with regard to optimal air quality with adequate air humidity) and building technology. The PHPP treats the entire building as one unit including the ventilation system and other mechanical systems. The PHPP manual doesn't just restrict itself to explaining the input data required for the worksheet calculations, but also provides numerous tips for optimised arrangement of building components (in an airtight, thermal bridge free and cost-efficient manner), as well as for the planning process and quality assurance. \\
