 In the norms DIN EN ISO 13370 and DIN EN ISO 10211, only one Ψ-value is determined for a heated basement. This includes the upper connection of the basement ceiling and the connection of the basement wall to the basement floor slab. In the Ground worksheet of the [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package |PHPP]] it is sufficient to enter $\Psi_{total}$  (as a perimeter thermal bridge). Alternatively, both connections ($\Psi_{upper}$ und $\Psi_{lower}$) can be examined separately for the criterion relating to absence of thermal bridges. In the norms DIN EN ISO 13370 and DIN EN ISO 10211, only one Ψ-value is determined for a heated basement.

 The procedure for determining the mentioned linear thermal transmittance is given below. Here it should be mentioned that in the Ground worksheet of the [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package |PHPP]], U-values for the basement floor slab and the basement wall are determined using the approximation function in the DIN EN ISO 13370, with consideration of the ground. In this way, Option A or Option B can also be applied for heated basements. In the context of certification for a construction system however, Option B should also be applied here for determining the Ψ-values. The procedure for determining the mentioned linear thermal transmittance is given below.

The heat flows and necessary lengths can be entered here and the desired Ψ-value is received as the result directly: In practice, pre-prepared Excel templates are used here also for determining the Ψ-values.

 Note: this is not a thermal bridge free connection. In the example given here it is relatively clear that the basement wall connection to the basement floor slab has not been implemented in an ideal manner.  One would advise the client to install insulation under the foundation as well (see AkKP 35). Regardless of that, the question that arises is, what about the upper connection? Can the floor/ceiling connection be regarded as thermal bridge free? Strictly speaking, one cannot consider both these connections separately from each other. The ground represents a thermal connection between the basement wall and the floor slab. Heat flow through the floor slab thus influences the heat transfer through the basement wall and vice versa. In most cases however, the basement wall to exterior wall connection is near or even above ground level. For this reason there are less interactions, and separate specification of $\Psi_{lower}$ and $\Psi_{upper }$, which is desirable in practical application, is justified. Note: this is not a thermal bridge free connection.
