 ====== Planning and Construction ======
+The passive house is all about a good planning process. The goals are: healthy buildings, comfortable buildings and sustainable buildings. The decisive factor here is the quality of the building envelope and the ventilation. The performance of a designed building can be calculated prior to construction - the tools on this page help to simplify the design process.
 [{{ :picopen:energiebilanz_mit_logo.png?500|**Any Passive House project must be planned based on an** [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:energy_balances_-_background| energy balance.]] \\ \\ The [[planning:calculating_energy_efficiency:phpp_-_the_passive_house_planning_package|Passive House Planning Package (PHPP)]] is an effective and user-friendly energy balancing tool allowing designers to plan and optimise Passive House buildings.
