On the afternoon of day 1 Fons took us to see a passivehouse under construction. This was extremely useful as we were able to see the information we were told about in the mroning. The first thing that struck me was the scale of the building and services etc. within and the extent of renewable energy solutions such as PV panels and the mechanical ventilation system. I counted over 300 panels on the south elevation of the roof which is like nothing we are used to seeing in the UK.
This trip helped me to realise the extent of planning which goes into a building like this.
On the morning of day 2, we carried on with the principles of U-values and carried out a number of calcs to determine improvements required to meet the passivehouse standard.
This was interesting as it made me realise the thought required to consruct each element of the building and meet the required U-values.
We were also shown a software package relating to condensation which looked extrememy useful and would assist in our day to day job role. We will look into purchasing this.
