Passive houses in Denmark - guidelines, tool and examples
The project aims to facilitate the design of passive houses in Denmark by adapting the German passive house design tool, PHPP, for use by Danish users of Be06. The project is undertaken in parallel with the development by the Danish Enterprise and Construction Authority of a new super low-energy class, which is expected to relate to the criteria for passive houses.
It is the aim of the project to increase the use of super low energy houses in Denmark. This is obtained by facilitating the use of the passive house design tool PHPP. PHPP is a tool developed by the Passive House Institute in Germany especially to design super low energy houses. The tool is thoroughly validated and is an effective design tool, both regarding the design process and regarding reliable results. To ease the use of PHPP instructions and guidelines will be elaborated which explain differences and resemblances between input data used in PHPP and in the Be06 program. Be06 is the program normally used in Denmark in connection with new building. Furthermore it is the plan to produce an excel sheet which can translate were it is possible input data from PHPP to input data to Be06. Finally it is the purpose to elaborate a number of examples which demonstrate differences and simularities between results from PHPP and Be06 and which explain definitions and criteria
