Passivhaus Planning Package
The RIBA Passivhaus Overlay, published by the RIBA in 2022, states the Passivhaus Planning Package (PHPP): ‘…is used to calculate energy use and to help assess whether thermal comfort criteria are being achieved. The Passivhaus Designer/Consultant builds PHPP models to support the design process. For reviews and certification, the Passivhaus Certifier builds their own model to help verify the design and identify design assumptions.’
