The TU Dublin School of Architecture, Building and Environment is pleased to announce the commencement of our collaboration with the UK Association of Environmental Conscious Building (AECB).

 

This collaboration will enable UK-based building design professionals to join our postgraduate CPD Certificate module in Energy Modelling Tools using PHPP. This is one of a number of modules within the TU414 MSc in Building Performance (Energy Efficiency in Design) programme which are open to industry practitioners wishing to upskill in low energy design.

The CPD Certificate in Energy Modelling Tools using PHPP module is designed to enable experienced building design professionals to develop and apply an understanding of the internationally recognised Passive House Planning Pack (PHPP) modelling and design software to determine the building performance of existing and new buildings, whether residential or non-residential, in temperate climatic zones such as Ireland or the UK

 

The module requires the application of calculation theories and methodologies and energy modelling protocols to meet the Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) performance standard. It develops skills in the application of advanced tools in modelling and designing buildings and explores techniques for upgrading geometry, fabric and services installations to achieve the nZEB design performance standard, using the PHPP energy performance design tool.
