Objectives:
- energy performance declaration & programmes
 - discern between energy declaration, end-energy use, primary energy use
 - alternative programmes like PHPP to calculate energy use more accurate and design in passive house or near zero energy
 - standard and design houses also with better indoor climate (summer, ventilation, technical overheads, primary energy)
 
Method:
- lectures, exercises, workshop
 
Theory:
- lectures, examples, charts, presentations …
 
Practice/Task:
- working groups with 3–4 participants working on detail examples
 - calculate u-values including “Glaser” with programs (www.u-wert.com)
 - checking and understanding energy performance declarations
 - see and understand a PHPP calculation example preferably compared with energy performance certificate of the same building
 - finding freeware for EBPD
 - find your national regulations and compare with EU 2020 energy performance goals for buildings
 - What is still missing in that goals?
