PHPP (Passive House Planning Package)

The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is a specialized software tool used to design energy-efficient buildings that meet the Passive House standard. It helps architects and builders calculate a building's energy performance, focusing on reducing heating and cooling needs. The PHPP considers factors like insulation, windows, ventilation, and thermal bridging to ensure optimal energy use. By accurately modeling energy consumption, it aids in creating comfortable living environments with minimal environmental impact, promoting sustainability in construction. In essence, PHPP enables the design of homes that stay warm in winter and cool in summer while using very little energy.
