Passive House Canada has partnered with Peel Passive House to create and deliver the PHPP 10 Demystified: Deep Dive into Heat Pumps, Cooling, and Windows
PHPPv10 has some great new features, but not all of them are straight forward to learn. Spend time with two PHPP experts who have delved deep into the new modelling protocols and summarized them into learning material that is concise, understandable, and readily applied. A particular focus is on heat pumps, cooling units, and windows components. Practical exercises will provide insight into how to avoid common traps that arise in your everyday practice. This course will save you hours of toiling on your own and help ensure your PHPP modelling is accurate and free of those pesky error messages.
