Learn to wield the 3D modelling tool that has revolutionized Passive House energy modelling

In this 6-week online course, participants will learn how to use designPH for the design and certification of Passive House buildings. Participants will be guided step-by-step through the building design process, from building model creation to exporting to PHPP. A major focus will be on iterative design to achieve the Passive House criteria. A case study will provide participants with practical experience in completing and documenting a designPH model for building certification.

We Offer

  • In-depth instruction on how to use all the features of designPH, plus some relevant SketchUp tools

  • An exploration of pitfalls in designPH and exporting the PHPP

  • Training that can help save you time, money, and headache on your projects
