About this event

As our climate warms, minimising the risks of overheating in new and existing buildings must be addressed. As a comfort-driven approach, the Passivhaus standard includes an overheating criterion that internal temperatures do not exceed 25ºC for more than 10% of the year, and best practice is a maximum of 0-2%.

The Keeping Cool: avoiding overheating risks short-course is now available on-demand! The course opens with a short introduction to the new overheating stress test in PHPP10 (see here) assisting designers to ensure summer comfort in their buildings. The first module introduces our technical overheating guidance, with a second module covering how to use our plug-in.
