What is the PHPP Expert Qualification? It is an “Additional qualification for Certified Passive House Designer/Consultants, to demonstrate competence in dealing with larger Passive House projects, including non-residential building, refurbishment, PHPP-sheets Variants and Comparison, designPH, BIM, thermal bridges.”
Jason Quinn will be teaching this class along with Dr. Kara Rosemeier of Passive House Academy.
“Your registration is conditional on these prerequisites being met. After registration, you have one week to sit online tests to demonstrate software prerequisites. Your registration will be accepted if you are successful in all tests. If you cannot demonstrate the required prerequisite skills, additional training (at cost) will be offered to you. Alternatively, a full refund of the course fee will be issued.”

3D Data Entry into designPH
Achieve the capability to use designPH to set up 3D models of a building envelope, how to assign the correct component qualities and how to update the building model and export it to PHPP.
3D Data Entry into BIM
