Energy Modelling using Design PH and PHPP - Compliance with H1/VM1

$1,500.00

Data Collection

For a comprehensive and accurate energy modelling process, we require detailed input data that encompasses all aspects of the building's physical and operational characteristics. This includes a full set of architectural and engineering drawings—floor plans, elevations, sections, detailed to capture the true essence of the design. We also need specifications for all materials used in construction, as well as complete mechanical and electrical system schematics. These documents should include the types of materials, their thermal properties, and any other relevant information. To ensure compatibility and precision in our modeling software, we request that all these documents be provided in .dwg format, which allows for seamless integration into our energy modeling tools.

Model Development

In developing the energy model for your project using Design PH and PHPP, we start by meticulously crafting a virtual representation of the building within the Sketchup environment. This model incorporates precise geographic data to account for site-specific conditions, such as shading from nearby structures or natural topography. Into this virtual environment, we integrate comprehensive architectural details — from the thermal resistance of insulation materials to the properties of window frames, glass and the general boundary of teh building thermal envelope. This allows us to not only visualise but also quantify how each element contributes to the overall energy performance of the building, setting the stage for detailed PHPP post-processing and analysis.

Simulation and Analysis

Upon completing the initial energy model in Design PH, we engage in post-processing with PHPP to enhance the design's performance. This phase offers multiple pathways depending on the project's goals: Passive House design and certification, H1 Compliance for New Zealand's Building Code, or general building envelope improvements and ventilation system design. Each option is meticulously analyzed, providing a different lens through which we can evaluate the building's energy performance. For Passive House certification, we focus on meeting stringent international energy efficiency standards. H1 Compliance ensures adherence to local building regulations, while envelope and ventilation improvements are targeted towards optimising the building's overall energy footprint and occupant comfort without necessarily pursuing certification.

Deliverables

We will provide a detailed summary report of the energy model tailored to the project requirement, including:

  • Simulation inputs and results, including 

    • construction R-Values

    • thermal bridge values of the perimeter

    • ventilation strategy and minimum air exchange per hour

    • energy consumption and overheating risk

  • project specific sensitivity analysis outcomes
