Passive House Retrofits: The EnerPHit Standard (Live Online)

The live online version of the EnerPHit course. PHI’s EnerPHit standard takes account of what makes existing buildings hard to certify: foundations, party walls, historic fabric, and cost. The course covers its criteria, its two certification methods, and the exemptions available, then follows successful retrofits through airtightness, insulation, thermal bridges, windows, and ventilation.

Key points

• Why EnerPHit was developed, and how it keeps Passive House health, comfort, and efficiency within reach of existing buildings.
• The two EnerPHit certification methods: where their criteria differ and where they agree.
• How comfort criteria and ventilation requirements drive the design.
• Exemptions for existing and historic buildings that can’t meet the standard route.
