Advanced Workshops
Thursday, 27 April 2017, 9:00 - 1:00
Energy efficient hot water systems (English)
The energy demand for the provision of hot water plays a dominant role in the energy balance of residential Passive House buildings. This workshop presents and discusses saving potentials and planning recommendations for the selection of heat generators, minimising energy losses from distribution and storage, heat recovery and water saving measures.
Thursday, 27 April 2017, 9:00 - 1:00
Commissioning and performance optimisation (English)
This workshop will summarise the most important findings of the 52nd session of the Research group for Cost effective Passive Houses. The workshop will look at quality assurance as well as common MVHR commsissioning issues and suggestions on how to tackle them.
Thursday, 27 April 2017, 2:30 - 6:30
Cooling and dehumidification (English)
This workshop provides an overview of cooling and dehumidification strategies for Passive House buildings. After initial considerations on the reduction of cooling energy demand, the main focus will be on the energy efficient, cost-effective and efficient supply and distribution of cooling in Passive House buildings in warm climates.
Thursday, 27 April 2017, 2:30pm-6:30pm
Windows Workshop (English)
The global demand for highly efficient and cost-effective windows exceeds the current production expertise thus leading to market shortages. This workshop is intended to contribute towards eliminating these shortages by providing specialist knowledge on high-performance windows.

Deep retrofits with PHPP (English & German)
We recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to know how PHPP can help you with planning and verification of deep retrofits. We will present PHPP‘s numerous features and capabilities for application to the building stock - before as well as after energy retrofit. We will also focus on the specifics of EnerPHit verification according to component quality or heating/ cooling demand. You will learn how the EnerPHit classes Plus or Premium can be achieved by complementing energy efficiency with renewable energy generation.
