|{{ :picopen:energiebilanz_mit_logo.png }}|**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. It supports all details which need to be considered when planning a Passive House: [[planning:thermal_protection:integrated_thermal_protection|insulation]], [[planning:airtight_construction|airtightness]], [[basics:building_physics_-_basics:heat_transfer:thermal_bridges|thermal bridge free design]], [[planning:thermal_protection:windows|Passive House windows]], [[planning:building_services:ventilation|ventilation]], heating loads, [[planning:building_services:heating_and_dhw:heating|heating]], [[basics:summer|summer comfort]], etc. |
