Preliminary Passive House Review: PPHR Report

Are you interested in finding the 'sweet spot' of optimal performance for your project? Do you want to make informed decisions on how much to insulate, what window package to pick, what fresh air system to choose (ERV or HRV?)? And are you wondering about what heating and cooling loads your building is going to have once you go for high performance?

As part of the Preliminary Passive House Review (PPHR) series, this video provides an in-depth review of a sample PPHR report executed on the remodel + addition project of Enrico Bonilauri, the Co-Founder of Emu.

The PPHR Report covers project- and climate-specific metrics such as thermal comfort, indoor air quality, durability, and energy efficiency.

This video illustrates PPHR report in detail, including:
- a thorough thermal comfort analysis for windows/doors
- the specs for the fresh air system (ERV/HRV)
- overall energy efficiency for heating/cooling
- benchmarking of the energy efficiency against Passive House
- whole building heating and loads for each scenario modeled: these would
drive the design of mechanical systems based upon the actual needs of the
scenario you end up picking.
