easyPH Training

easyPH is a streamlined Passive House energy-modeling tool for certifying single-family homes. This course covers when a project qualifies for easyPH and when the PHPP is the better tool, then walks through a sample home, from geometry in designPH to data entry in easyPH.

Key points

• Deciding whether a project suits easyPH or needs the PHPP.
• easyPH’s simplified workflow, with geometry and shading modeled in designPH.
• Where data entry differs from the PHPP: fewer worksheets, and tables for areas, volumes, and airflows.
• Completing an easyPH calculation for a simple single-family home.

Learning objectives

• Determine if a project is well-suited to utilize easyPH or should use PHPP.
• Describe differences in data entry between easyPH and PHPP.
• Outline the simplified workflow of easyPH.
• Complete an easyPH calculation for a simple single-family home
