Streamline your Passive House design workflow, easily create accurate shading parameters for your project and save yourself time! This course will take learners from the very beginning up to a completed whole-building energy model using the powerful new designPH 2.2 plugin.

Participants will follow along, step-by-step with a real project, starting with the CAD geometry, turning it into a full 3D surface model, build and apply assemblies, manage thermal bridges, create complex window objects as well as detailed site shading and interior room-level data. We’ll also review the overall workflow and how to use designPH within a real project as well as how to move project data into PHPP models.

A basic understanding of SketchUp is required, we recommend using the free tutorials for beginners, available online.
