Climate protection at district level - planning and evaluation with districtPH
Passive House Institute has developed a tool with which development or retrofitting scenarios can be evaluated at district level. districtPH helps with questions about suitable supply options and sensible design for remediation subsidies and shows how a net zero-energy district can be achieved. This workshop will present the basic features of districtPH and present practical examples.
To get the most benefit from this workshop, please bring your own laptop computer. You should be able to connect a USB stick and to run Excel files version 2013 or higher, including macros.

Airtightness
This workshop will summarise the findings from various studies on Passive Houses in different climates of the world, carried out at the Passive House Institute. The importance of airtight construction and the influences on energetic and moisture issues under the major climatic boundary conditions will be pointed out.
Saturday, 12 October 2019, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
bim2PH - BIM and PHPP
BIM2PH is the new interface concept for BIM tools to export project data from 3D models to PHPP. This workshop will explain how to introduce energy efficiency parameters into BIM models and introduce the features of the BIM2PH converter tool to export data to PHPP.
Saturday, 12 October 2019, 2:30 - 6:30 pm
Energy efficient hot water systems
The energy demand for the provision of hot water plays a dominant role in the energy balance of residential Passive House buildings. This workshop presents and discusses saving potentials and planning recommendations.
Saturday, 12 October 2019, 2:30 - 6:30 pm
Commissioning and monitoring
The workshop will focus on quality assurance as well as common MVHR commissioning issues and suggestions on how to tackle them. The most important findings of the 52nd session of the Research group for cost-effective Passive House buildings will be summarised.
Saturday, 12 October 2019, 9:00 am - 1:00 pm
Cooling and dehumidification
This workshop provides an overview of cooling and dehumidification strategies for Passive House buildings. After initial considerations on the reduction of cooling energy demand, the main focus will be on the energy efficient, cost-effective and efficient supply and distribution of cooling in Passive House buildings in warm climates.

Windows Workshop (English)
The global demand for highly efficient and cost-effective windows exceeds the current production expertise thus leading to market shortages. This workshop is intended to contribute towards eliminating these shortages by providing specialist knowledge on high-performance windows. Additionally, participants will be able to convince producers in their regional markets to manufacture these high-performance windows in their respective regions.

Train-the-Trainer Course
Saturday, 12 October 2019, 9:00 am - 1:30 pm
Renovation roadmap - exchange workshop
This course takes place subsequently to the International Passive House Conference and is adressed to everybody who is fascinated by the Passive House and would like to share their knowledge as a course provider for certified Passive House designers or tradespeople courses.
To get the most benefit from this workshop, please bring your own laptop computer. You should be able to run Excel files version 2013 or higher.
If you want to become accredited as a course provider and take part in the free train-the trainer course please send your application to the Passive House Institute (designer@passiv.de). After recognition as a course provider you will get an invitation for the train-the-trainer course.
Individual renovation roadmaps look at the building as a whole and provide customized refurbishment plans over a long time span. Considering the occupant´s and building´s context, a step-by-step retrofit plan provides a quality-assured guideline for the building owner, removing one of the main barriers to successfully enable deep retrofit measures and efficiency improvement on the way to a carbon neutral building stock.
This workshop aims to provide participants from administrations, international organizations or funding agencies with a better understanding of step-by-step-refurbishment processes and customized renovation plans. Further, it will give a platform to exchange experiences and discuss ideas for the implementation of renovation roadmaps.
If you wish to participate in this workshop please send an E-mail to the Passive House Institute (conference@passiv.de ).
