| * In residential buildings with efficient household appliances, values of about 2.1 W/m² (±0.3) for **internal heat sources** are realistic during the heating period (rather than 5 W/m², as frequently assumed). The PHPP includes a calculation sheet which allows for more accurate determination of the internal heat sources of a specific building project. Assuming unrealistically high internal heat gains would result in unrealistically low values for energy use, suggesting that very low or even zero-energy houses are possible with moderate building standards. Practice has shown that this not true. \\ | * In residential buildings with efficient household appliances, values of about 2.1 W/m² (±0.3) for **internal heat sources** are realistic during the heating period (rather than 5 W/m², as frequently assumed).
