PH0 Passive House Basics: Self-paced

In preparation for the course modules, this 2-hour e-learning will give you an overview of the Passive House Standard, the certification requirements and the different elements you need to consider when designing and building Passive Houses. In addition to Passive House principles, building physics topics such as heat and moisture are addressed. The basics of opaque and transparent elements of the building envelope, thermal bridges and air tightness are taught, as well as the basics of ventilation, heating, cooling and hot water. A first insight into the Passive House Project Planning Package (PHPP) completes the online course. All the topics included here are covered in greater depth and detail in the subsequent course modules. The content of the e-learning is assumed to be known in the following course modules.
