 Optimising the building design to suit local climate conditions and building use has a fundamental impact on the level of thermal comfort achieved in summer and the energy required for active cooling. It also determines how robust and resilient the building is against the risk of overheating during hot spells, and generally rising temperatures. PHPP and designPH are useful planning tools for this optimisation process.

 If a building (or individual rooms) cannot be kept cool realibly using only passive cooling measures, there is always the option of active cooling. The energy demand and cooling loads in a Passive House building or an existing building renovated to the EnerPHit standard are so low due to the high level of energy efficiency that active cooling can be implemented in a technically simple and climate-friendly way. For a detached house, a single split system air conditioning unit is usually sufficient (an extremely cost-effective solution that can also be used for heating). The months in which active cooling is required in Europe generally coincide well with the availability of renewable solar energy. This means that in almost all cases, the additional energy demand can be met easily and efficiently using sustainable resources, as demonstrated by the [[basics:energy_and_ecology:primary_energy_renewable_per|PER assessment method]]. Due to the further expansion of photovoltaics, which is necessary in any case, in just a few years' time there will even be surplus electricity in the power grid in Germany, especially during hot periods.
