PHPP Variant Calculation

Wednesday, 7 March 2018, 9:00am - 6:00pm
Venue: Bauzentrum, Willy-Brandt-Allee 10, 81829 München

This hands-on workshop will familiarize you with the use of the PHPP variant calculation. The PHPP variant calculation is a powerful feature in PHPP which allows the user to compare efficiency measures for various standards; check the influence of insulation thickness or other components on the energy demand; evaluate the impact of various window types offered in a tender specification on the efficiency results of a project; and also enter retrofit stages of a step-by-step retrofit and be able to present and explain the efficiency improvement of a building over 20 years. Participants of this workshop will learn how to perform the all the previously mentioned functions, as well as additional tips and tricks for special cases.
