Gui­dance for ro­bust sum­mer com­fort de­sign

 Lim­it­ing the fre­quency of over­heat­ing in sum­mer is gain­ing rel­ev­ance with warm­ing cli­mate con­di­tions. In or­der to raise aware­ness on the top­ic and en­cour­age more ro­bust design choices, PHI has de­ve­loped a “sum­mer com­fort guideline”, as well as a stress-test­ing as part of the PHPP en­ergy mod­el­ling.

Pas­siv­haus Plus high school in warm cli­ma­te

_{The design and con­struc­tion of a Passivhaus Plus, as sim­u­lated by PHPP, de­liv­ers out­stand­ing thermal per­form­ance and com­fort for a build­ing with a very dif­fer­ent oc­cu­pancy and use. This non-res­id­en­tial Passivhaus case study show­cases the ad­vant­ages of a mul­tidiscip­lin­ary design pro­ject team, an in­dus­tri­al­ised con­struc­tion sys­tem and a com­bined act­ive mech­an­ic­al sys­tem strategy ap­plied to high en­ergy-ef­fi­cient build­ings in warm and tem­per­ate cli­mates and at an af­ford­able con­struc­tion cost.}

Sol­ar-elec­tric cool­ing – po­ten­tial and lim­it­a­tions

_{Ana­lys­is to in­vest­ig­ate the po­ten­tial for sol­ar-elec­tric cool­ing to cov­er a high pro­por­tion of the en­ergy de­mand (PV coupled with va­pour-com­pres­sion re­fri­ger­a­tion), ef­fects on thermal com­fort and primary en­ergy de­mand}

Pass­ive Houses and sol­ar cool­ing in hot and hu­mid cli­mates (sol.e.h.²)
_{The com­bin­a­tion of a highly ef­fi­cient build­ing en­vel­ope to Pass­ive House Stand­ard and a sol­ar hy­brid cool­ing sup­ply with an ab­sorp­tion re­fri­ger­at­or and a va­pour-com­pres­sion re­fri­ger­a­tion sys­tem makes it pos­sible in hot and hu­mid cli­mates – such as that in Guang­zhou, south­ern China – to cre­ate sus­tain­able and eco­nom­ic build­ing op­er­a­tions.}
