-===== The Passive House Planning Package =====+The Passive House is all about a good planning process. The goals are: healthy buildings, comfortable buildings and sustainable buildings. The decisive factor here is the quality of the building envelope and the ventilation. The performance of a designed building can be calculated prior to construction - the tools on this page help to simplify the design process.
  
-|The **Passive House Planning Package (PHPP)** (order [[http://passiv.de/literaturbestellung/index.php/en/?task=view&category_id=1|here]]) contains everything necessary for designing a properly functioning Passive House. The PHPP prepares an energy balance and calculates the annual energy demand of the building. \\ \\ [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package|Read more]]|{{:picopen:phpp_passive_house_planning_package.png?400|}} \\ The PHPP consists of a **printed manual** with a **CD**. The manual not only elucidates the calculation methods used in the PHPP but also explains other important key points in the construction of Passive Houses. The CD contains a tool based on Excel (or an equivalent spreadsheet software programme) with different worksheets containing the respective inputs and calculations for various areas.| \\ +===== Passive House Design Tools =====
-|**designPH**, a newly developed 3D data entry and design modelling tool (SketchUP plugin) for the PHPP is available now. [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package:designph_plugin|Read more]]|   {{:picopen:designph_logo.png?200}}    \\ +
