How do you design a Passive House in a Subtropical climate like Brisbane?Today's episode is the fourth and final episode focussing on the design specifics for each of the four climate zones around Australia, where most of our population lives. I talk to very experienced passive house designer Tiago Guerreiro, a director at the award-winning design and construction company H4 Living based in Brisbane. In this episode, Tiago explains the Passive House design specifics for Subtropical, plus he shares heaps of other information and insights about designing and building from his years of experience to help you better understand Passive House.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. The 5 Passive House design components for a subtropical climate are as follows:Windows are typically double-glazed and always operable. Windows should enable cross ventilation, purging of any excess heat build-up, and connection to the outdoors to enjoy comfortable external temperatures over spring and autumn and much of winter. The fresh air circulation system for subtropical is an ERV (energy recovery ventilation system) which is different to the HRV systems used in the cooler southern states. Wall insulation can fit within a typical 90mm timber stud framed wall thickness. No under-slab insulation is required because connecting to comfortable earth temperatures (usually around 22-23 degrees Centigrade) is beneficial for cooling. Only one layer of external wrapping is required; the vapour-permeable weatherproof membrane on the outside of the home is taped, sealed and made airtight. An additional internal membrane may be used to obtain certainty of airtightness, but it can be avoided in most cases to reduce costs. Removing thermal bridges is always essential to avoid heat gain.2. Effective shading to avoid all heat gain is critical - no sun can enter the house. Passive houses retain heat very effectively because they are well-insulated and sealed; therefore, the hotter the climate zone, the more shading is required.3. Humidity and condensation are major issues in subtropical design. It's always essential to run a Wufi analysis (which is a moisture study) as well as the PHPP modelling to resolve any moisture issues and prevent unseen mould growth in the building structure over the long term. . If you'd like to hear more about the Wufi analysis you can find more information in Episode 4. Passive House Consultant and Certifier – with Luc...

How do you design a Passive House in a mild temperate climate like Melbourne? In today's episode, I continue to investigate the design specifics for each of the four climate zones around Australia where most of our population lives. I talk to very experienced Passive House designer Andy Marlow, a director of the award winning environmental practice Envirotecture in Victoria and New South Wales.In this episode, Andy explains the Passive House design specifics for Mild Temperate. Plus we talk more about Enerfit, the renovation and retrofit tool, and he shares heaps of other information and insights from his years of experience to help you better understand Passive House.Australian Architects can claim formal CPD hours for these podcasts.

KEY POINT SUMMARY1. In terms of the five Passive House design components, mild temperate is very similar to cool temperate. Windows are double or sometimes triple glazed depending on the design. The fresh air circulation system is an HRV Stud framed wall thicknesses are typically 140mm to allow for more insulation, and insulation is required to separate a concrete floor slab from the cool earth temperature below. An internal wrap for air tightness and moisture control is usually required in addition to the exterior weather tight wrap, and Removing thermal bridges is always important. 2. The colour of the roof and walls is considered in the PHPP modelling and affects the design's performance. In cooler climates, dark coloured buildings perform slightly better than light coloured buildings. Dark coloured roof and walls will dry out faster which can be beneficial to reduce any moisture in the wall and roof structure. However, Andy noted that as a nation going forward into climate change and increasing temperatures, generally speaking, lighter coloured buildings are the best solution. 3. Passive House is a performance standard so buildings can be constructed from any material as long as they deliver the required results through the PHPP modelling. Andy references a Passive House that Envirotecture have completed made from straw bale. 4. Passive House certification costs around 3 to 8% extra, however the value it adds far outweighs the extra cost. Envirotecture prefer to build certified Passive Houses over uncertified high performance because of the rigorous testing on site. The quality assurance. 5. When renovating, the whole building must be upgraded to achieve Enerfit certification. Improvements must be made to...

Passive House design is different in every climate zone. Over the next four podcast episodes, I talk to Passive House designers in the four Australian climate zones where most of our population lives, to discover the key differences. Today I start with Passive House design for cool temperate climates like Canberra and Hobart. I talk to Michael Tolhurst, the director of award winning practice Envelope Architecture in Canberra. Michael clearly explains the Passive House design specifics for cool temperate. Plus he shares heaps of other information and insights to help you better understand Passive House designAustralian Architects can claim formal CPD hours for these podcasts.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. Passive House design for cool temperate climates has a focus on warming. Of the four Australian climate zones accommodating most of our population, cool temperate is the most extreme. In Canberra, winters regularly go down to less than -5 degrees Celsius and in summer can reach the 40s. 2. Using a compact building form makes the Passive House standard much easier to achieve in more extreme climates like cool temperate. However, if you want a more linear form because of your site or to capture views etc. The PHPP tool can be used to determine building form alternatives and compensate for heat loss in other ways. 3. Windows are generally triple glazed. The window glass area reduces as the climate becomes colder to reduce heat loss. However, it's still critical to have opening windows in all habitable rooms to get cross ventilation when needed. And shading is still very important to prevent too much heat gain. 4. The fresh air circulation system is a HRV, which stands for Heat Recovery Ventilation System. The HRV provides a constant supply of filtered fresh air and incorporates a highly efficient heat exchanger to retain heat from inside the house. Some additional mechanical heating, usually from a reverse cycle air conditioner, is generally required. As a side note, Michael clearly explains how Passive House heating is generated from three sources:i) Solar heat gain, ii) Internal gains from occupants, showering, cooking and equipment, etc. iii) Mechanical heating. The air tightness and insulation in a Passive House very efficiently retains the heat inside the house. 5. An internal air barrier is required in a cool temperate climate zone and this is in addition to the vapour permeable external membrane used for weatherproofing. Heat energy

How do you build a Passive House? In this episode you'll find out about the rigorous testing and photographic documentation of evidence that has to happen on site to guarantee that Passive House buildings deliver what they promise. I talk to very experienced Passive House builder Matthew Carland from Carland Constructions in Melbourne. Matthew openly shares everything that happens on site. You'll learn why he believes that Passive Houses are actually easier to build than typical homes. Plus heaps of other information to help you better understand Passive House construction. And let me tell you, if you still aren't convinced about the quality and value of the Passive House standard, in this episode, you'll find out how remarkable it really is.Australian Architects can claim formal CPD hours for these podcasts.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. Involving the builder during design is critical for keeping the project on budget. PHPP is used to test and find a balance of the best design and product options that meet the Passive House standard. And so when you include the builder's cost advice during PHPP design stages, you can effectively balance performance and cost to get the optimal outcome. 2. Passive House projects are easier to build than typical houses because of the high level of communication and collaboration. A specific outcome (Passive House certification) must be delivered and everyone wants to get it right. It's a shared goal. Everyone involved cares about what they do and works together. 3. The main difference between Passive House construction and typical construction is airtightness. Successful building wrapping is about getting prepared and thinking ahead. Once you understand, it's not that difficult, but there is extra time and cost involved. To wrap a standard house internally, it takes about three or four people an extra week. 4. Passive House certification gives you the unquestionable guarantee that what is designed is built. There is no other method on the market that will do that. There are multiple tests during construction to confirm that everything is built correctly, including blower door testing to confirm the air tightness, thermal imaging to confirm the insulation is installed correctly, and visual inspections and photographic documentation of evidence to confirm the right products and installation methods have been used. 5. To get started as a builder, do the Passive House Trade course. After that, building wrap suppliers will show you how to use their products and all the other information you need is...

Passive House windows are not like the typical windows that we are used to in Australia. They require double glazing and sometimes triple glazing, and they open and close in different ways. Glass windows and doors are an integral part of building design, functionality and energy efficiency and they always take a large portion of the budget. So it's critical to know what you're working with before you get started.In today's episode, I talk to Paul Gerrard, the owner of Energy Efficient Windows, about the uPVC windows he manufactures for Passive Houses and high performance homes all around Australia. You'll learn:The different window and door types that can be used in a Passive House, The answers to your questions about UPVC window frames, Plus heaps of other practical info to help you understand how windows work in a Passive House.Australian Architects can claim formal CPD hours for these podcasts.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. Passive House windows are different to the typical windows that we're used to in Australia. The main Passive House options are tilt and turn windows, lift and slide doors and hinged swing doors. These opening types comply with the airtight requirements. They lock the entire perimeter of the window and really compress the seals. 2. Passive House windows need to be double or triple glazed. The option that's correct for your climate zone will be determined through your PHPP calculations. 3. The window frame material is also part of the window energy equation, not just the window glass. It needs to be insulated and airtight and thermal bridge free, meaning that the heat energy can't transfer through the window frame from inside to out, or outside to in. 4. uPVC windows are the most cost effective Passive House window option. Other options include timber thermally broken aluminium and timber aluminium composite. 5. The window brand and type you choose doesn't need to be a certified component through the German Passive House Institute. As long as the required data on the window glass and the frames is available, the PHPP calculations can be balanced with everything else in the house to achieve the Passive House standard. 6. A few facts about uPVC windows: uPVC doesn't off gas like a vinyl floor. It has a very long lifespan. It won't break down in the sun because it contains a special tropical mix for the hot Australian climate. It's 100% recyclable in bushfire areas, It can go up to BAL40 in bushfire zones and...

The design and construction requirements of the Passive House standard are complex. If you're an architect or building designer, the learning curve to deliver your first Passive House building is steep. If you're keen to get involved but struggling to get your first residential or commercial project off the ground, today, you'll find out how a Passive House consultant and a Passive House certifier can help. I talk to experienced sustainability engineer Luc Plowman, the director of Detail Green in Victoria. Luc shares his extensive knowledge gained from working on residential and commercial Passive House projects all around Australia over the last 10 years.

The market for Passive House in Australia has grown exponentially since about 2015. It's really come on in the past few years as the number of built Passive House projects has increased, enabling more people to experience and understand it. 2. Enerfit is the Passive House tool for renovations. It's more challenging and expensive than new build because you need to replace windows and remove cladding to properly address the requirements, but everything is possible so it's worth investigating feasibility. 3. A Passive House Consultant is particularly helpful for a first time Passive House team. They do the Passive House scientific modelling on the PHPP program to inform the design through the entire design, construction and certification process. 4. A Passive House Certifier's role is to provide independent review and quality assurance. They don't get involved in the design process at all. They sit in the background and provide technical support at multiple stages. 5. Building a custom architectural home to the Passive House standard adds around 10% as a rough rule of thumb. Simple design solutions can cost less. 6. Building a commercial building to the Passive House standard is not much of an uplift in cost above typical construction in mild climates like Sydney. Luc forecast that Passive House would become standard practice for commercial in Australia over the coming years. From an owner's perspective, it's not much more expensive to build, delivering low running costs and a more robust building. From a user's perspective, it's a healthier, more thermally comfortable building and therefore a more desirable and productive working environment.

Architects shape the places where they work. Good Architects are themselves also shaped by their surrounding environment. Living and working in Wanaka, Beth Chaney is very aware of being part of a place that most people only get to visit on holiday. This acknowledgment provides motivation for looking after the environment through her work as an architect. In this episode, we discuss how Chaney and Norman incorporate environmental ratings along with PHPP energy modelling from Passive House to create sustainable architecture.

On this episode, we're talking about Passive House. Proper building design based on energy targets. PHPP. What it is, what it isn't, how easy it is to achieve, and why it's not as scary as it sounds. Episode 9: Passive House.

En este capítulo vamos a contaros como montar un servidor web en casa. Veréis que es muy fácil y sencillo. Explicaremos también los conceptos de servidor y cliente y os mostramos una distribución de Apache donde viene todo lo necesario para montar tu servidor web.Pero antes de nada como siempre, tenéis un formulario precioso donde podéis mandarnos vuestras peticiones, consultas e incluso insultos :).Antes de comenzar con la propia instalación tenemos que ver varios conceptos. Comenzamos con el servidor. Un servidor no es más que un ordenador como el que tenemos en nuestra casa que ofrece recursos y servicios a otros ordenadores que son los clientes. La diferencia es que suelen ser más potentes, con más capacidad, potencia y conexiones entradas y salidas.Los servidores ofrecen principalmente recursos y servicios a otros ordenadores que se denominan clientes como por ejemplo una base de datos de una web, un servicio de hora, una conexión, imágenes, documentos, etc...Por lo tanto tenemos un cliente y un servidor, bueno en realidad podemos tener multitud de clientes y multitud de servidores. Esta arquitectura es bastante conocida y se llama arquitectura cliente-servidor. Es muy útil para compartir recursos entre diferentes ordenadores como por ejemplo una página web. La gente que se conecta a la web para ver el contenido son los clientes y el servidor comparte los recursos como los archivos HTML y la base de datos.En este podcast nos vamos a centrar en un servidor web que no es más que un programa informático que se instala en el servidor, en nuestro caso Apache, que va a compartir recursos como base de datos y servicios como páginas web, imágenes, CSS, PHP, etc... con los clientes a través del navegador.Instalar un servidor web en casa puede ser útil para iniciarse en la creación de sitios web con cualquier CMS (Sistema de gestión de contenidos). Por ejemplo, si queremos instalar Wordpress en nuesta casa, es el CMS más utilizado en el mundo, se necesitan 3 cosas fundamentalmente:Servidor web, del que ya hemos hablado.Una base de datos, MySQL para almacenar la información.Un intérprete de PHP que compile el código.Todo este software es gratuito y de código abierto o código libre, que tienes el código fuente a tu disposición, y lo podemos conseguir en las siguientes direcciones:MySQLApachePHPPodemos instalar por separado cada componente pero existen distribuciones donde encontramos estos tres componentes en un mismo paquete o instalador. Son distribuciones gratuitas y muy simples de instalar. Se llaman distribuciones de Apache. Tenemos varias, aquí hablaremos de unas cuantas pero si quieres saber como instalar la más genérica, XAMPP, puedes ver el videotutorial que hemos creado paso a paso de como instalar esta distribución.XAMPPEs la distribución más genérica ya que es multiplataforma, que es independiente de la plataforma o sistema operativo (Windows, Linux, Mac OS). Es un acrónimo de:X: para cualquier plataformaA: servidor web ApacheM: base de datos MySQLP: intérprete de PHPP: intérprete de PerlExisten otra distribuciones más específicas para cada sistema operativo como WAMP (Windows), LAMP (Linux) y MAMP (Mac OS).Estos son los enlaces a las diferentes distribuciones:XAMPPWAMPLAMPMAMPOs recordamos que hay un videotutorial que podéis seguir para instalar XAMPP en vuestro ordenador.Cómo instalar un servidor web en casa con WordPress y PrestashopBueno pues hasta aquí el programa de hoy, esperamos que os haya servido de ayuda, si es así ya sabéis valorarnos en las diferentes plataformas de podcast iTunes, ivoox, etc... Nos vemos en el siguiente capítulo.

Alan Budden from Eco Design Consultants explains how simple design decisions can drastically alter the energy performance of a house and why this means your designer needs to be using a tool like the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) to better inform these decisions.

Mark Tiramani, the self-builder behind the UK’s first certified Passivhaus, shares his experience of building Y Foel and how this got him interested in the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). He explains what PHPP is and why it’s a valuable tool.
