Streamline your Passive House design workflow, easily create accurate shading parameters for your project and save yourself time!

Our upcoming master class 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.
