Description of the

Everyone is now talking about the passive house. Some people are only just hearing whispers of it, others have already had their first experiences.

From private builders to politicians, from Germany to the international construction industry - the passive house is gaining ground and there are still many myths surrounding the subject... Now that's over!

Look forward to an exciting learning module that will give you the basics you need to understand how a passive house works and how it differs from other common energy standards.

What is a passive house REALLY? Which criteria must (or should?) be met and why? And how do you plan an economical passive house?

The German Energy Agency (dena) recognises the learning module "The Passive House Standard" with 6 UE (teaching units).

Learning objectives

The following learning objectives are to be achieved with this learning module:

  • Knowledge of the most important backgrounds: The need for energy-efficient construction
  • Ability to calculate with physical units
  • Ability to differentiate between work and power and forms of energy
  • Knowledge of the differences between the most common energy standards
  • Knowledge of the climate-independent definition of a passive house
  • Knowledge of the test criteria (mandatory criteria) for a passive house in a cool-temperate climate and the derivation of these criteria
  • Know which formulas are used to calculate the annual heating requirement
  • Knowledge of the factors for optimisation
  • Know which planning recommendations can be used to achieve the PH criteria
  • Knowledge of the quality requirements for a passive house (target criteria)

Themes

Energy transition, standards, physical basics of energy efficiency, energy standards, history and definition of the passive house, derivation of the test criteria, quality requirements, certification, adjusting screws, planning recommendations

Target group

All parties involved in construction

Scope

80 screen pages plus excursions and additional media + tools

Airtightness of the building envelope - ML (6 UE)

In connection with airtightness, we often hear the topic of mould or the demand for "breathing houses". We therefore start by explaining why airtightness is important.

In contrast to the statutory minimum standard, particularly good airtightness is even a MUST for passive houses.

Stricter requirements apply to the implementation of the differential pressure method in accordance with DIN EN 13829, which is used to measure the airtightness of the building.

How this works and what influence the result has is discussed in detail.

In the final section, we look at what you need to consider when planning and constructing a building to ensure that it is airtight.

The German Energy Agency (dena) recognises the "Airtightness" learning module with 6 UE (teaching units).

Learning objectives

The following learning objectives are to be achieved with this learning module:

  • Knowledge of the most important reasons for an airtight building envelope
  • Knowledge of possible problems caused by airtightness and solutions
  • Knowledge of the framework conditions (legal and passive house standard)
  • Setup and implementation of the standardised measurement, interpretation of the results
  • Knowledge of the most common leaks and how to avoid them in planning and execution
  • Ability to calculate heat losses due to leaks
  • Realisation: airtightness is the most economical way to save energy

Themes

History, reasons for an airtight envelope, specifications, standards, airtightness measurement procedure, leak detection, practical tips, planning principles, implementation, avoidance of typical errors

Target group

Architects, specialist planners, energy consultants, executing trades

Scope

60 screen pages plus excursions and additional media + tools
