DAY 1 In the afternoon of day 1 we visited a passive house still under construction. The first thing we noticied, was the roof which was covered from bottom to top with solar pannels which were south facing. Fons explained why this was Then we notice the amount of different materials which were used during this build to componsate for the insulation of the building. These certain materials were selected to allow very little or nill heat loss to the building fabric. They were selected by using a certian formula to calculate your resistance and u valves. To see this stage of the building under construction was very benificall thanks Fons!!!!!! DAY 2 Today so far we have learnt how to calculate the resistance and u valve to see what your potentail heat loss to a propertie/ passive house would be. We have also seen a software which is used to tell u after youve done your calculations what your condencation levels would be and wheather your propertie/ passive house would be up to standards and regulations.
TTFN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Passive house visit....
Yesterday we finished the day with a visit to a passive house which was still in the process of being built.The opportunity to see the construction details was interesting together with the services and cross sections of such a building, as such buildings are still quite uncommon iin the UK.

passivehouse day 1 part2
This afternoon we visited a passivehouse construction of an office complex first thing we noticed was a gound to apex roof coverd completely in solar panals facing towards the south. Our teacher the fonz then explained how the construction process starts showing us the materials used and thicknesses which helped us to understand the different u values etc of the materials. Once inside we could see how all the systems put together showed the complete thickness of the walls. The technolgy used for the wireing, heat and air source and the water systems where very impresive.
