1 The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) Could 25,000 Passivhauses be wrong? Jessica Grove-Smith, PHI Dylan Lamar, Architect, CPHC

2 A bit of context William Shurcliff, 1984

3 Three Principles Superinsulation Airtightness Heat-Recovery Ventilation And good details

4 Why is Superinsulation Better? For a Residence: ~77% reduction in Peak Heating Load (and System size) Cost-neutral (reduction in heating system pays for insulation/hrv) Interior temperatures more uniform Interior humidity more easily controlled Summer cooling much easier (Though decreased daylighting and views)

5 A shift of priorities

6 Still the building scientists kept at it

7 Meanwhile across the pond Microsoft Excel (1985)

8 Passivhaus is born Darmstadt, 1990 Superinsulation Airtightness Heat-Recovery Ventilation and Moderate Passive Solar Gain

9 The Passivhaus Standard Draws a line in the sand on Building Energy Demands: Heating Demand 4.75 kbtu/sf.yr Primary Energy Demand 38 kbtu/sf.yr Airtightness 0.6 ACH50 Derived based upon heating load that can be carried by ventilation supply air ( Tunneling through the cost barrier ). Direct use of solar energy included (solar hot water, but not PV). Generally makes net zero a cakewalk.

10 Source: Bruce Sullivan Net Zero Energy without the rigor of Passivhaus design

11 The right tool for the job Approachable, Excel-format Steady-state heat balance calculations Monthly climate data averages Appropriate peak design conditions Specifically for well-insulated, airtight buildings.

12 With the precision required for very low energy buildings Conventional Model: 1 Input PHPP: 4 Inputs U-frame U-window U-glass -spacer NFRC data based on standard window size -install Certified data based on real window dimensions

16 PHPP - Passive House Planning Package First release: 1998 Main focus: Heating demand cool-temperate climate, residential buildings Continuous development New features for new applications (e.g. non-residential, refurbishment projects, international climates, ) Active cooling since 2007 Validation to prove reliability Comparison with dynamic simulation models Numerous and extensive monitoring projects whole house approach Newest release: 2013, Version 8 Improved international application with added features (e.g. RES) PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

17 PHPP - Passive House Planning Package Output 1. Space heating + max. load 2. Overheating frequency OR Cooling + max. load & dehumdification 3. Total primary energy Whole house approach Instant results Simple optimisation of the components - Window quality - Insulation level - Technical equipment (heating, cooling, hot water ) incl. RES (PV, solar hot water ) PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

18 PHPP - Reliable results PHPP has prooven itself and been accepted to be one of the most precise planning tools in the world PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

19 Principle of the PHPP: A stationary energy balance Back to the basics of physics Gains = Losses Facade North Window Window Facade South Floor slab PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

20 Principle of the PHPP: A stationary energy balance Heat gains that cannot be used Nutzungsgrad Wärmegewinne [-] Utilisation factor of energy gains [-] Energy gains / losses Wärmegewinne [Verlust] heat gains interne & solare Gewinne davon nutzbar useful heat gains Gewinn-Verlust-Verhältnis [-] Energy gains / losses PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

27 The aim of building calculations.. is to model the building with a reliable tool as accurately as possible suitable Specific space heating demand [kwh/(m²a)] -80% low-energy housing PHPP calculated values Passive Houses PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI

28 Heating load calculations with the PHPP Which maximum performance has to be provided by the heating system? What is different in a Passive House? Mainly: High thermal inertia (time constant > 200h) Heating load calculation according to PHPP Difference to conventional approach: Heat gains (solar & internal) are taken into account. Definition of the heating load for Passive Houses according to the PHPP: Maximum daily mean power required to keep the internal temperature Method: Energy balance for two different design days, depending on the window size, the max. load occurs under different conditions a) cold and clear b) cloudy but moderate PHPP: Passive House Planning Package Author: PHI
