Introduction to the Active House Concept

● History● Specifications● Guidelines● Commissioning and Verification● Qualitative Parameters● Examples● Presentation of participants projects● Discussion of tools and software used● Evaluation of the projects● Discussion about problems and solutions

DETAILS DAY 1: INTRODUCTION

Location and climate data● Analyzing the construction location● Simulation of the climate data (temperature, humidity, rain, wind speed and

direction, solar radiation, solar hours, sky temperature, albedo)● Analyzing the solar and wind diagram – conclusions for the project● Analyzing the humidity – conclusions for the plants and materials

Creating the 3D-model

● 3D-modeling and shading analysis in Revit, Rhino e Sketchup; export and import in WUFI

● Create 3D-model with the WUFI wizard – design windows in WUFI● Using the vertices model in WUFI for shadings, trees, external buildings,

multizone model and adjustments

DETAILS DAY 2: ENERGY A - STARTING WUFI

Introduction of WUFIplus Passive (participants get a free version for the course)

Static energy calculation● Monthly method for NZEB – Passive House mode – ISO 13790● Calculation of the thermal envelope, surface, volumes, single zone, ground, construction

elements and materials● Windows and static/dynamic shadings● Advanced elements: mechanical and natural ventilation, thermal bridges, air tightness,

summer shading● Calculation of the plants: heating, cooling, dehumidification, humidification, domestic hot

water, ventilation, thermal solar plant, fotovoltaic solar plant● Energy-Tool for results of final and primary energy demand, percentage of renewables

Dynamic energy simulation

● Introduction to dynamic energy and hygrothermal simulation● Secondary dynamic simulations: construction elements, shadings, ground and heat lake,

thermal bridges, plants, natural ventilation with simplified CFD● Multizone models for comfort and IAQ simulations● Export and import in evaluation tool

DETAILS DAY 3: ENERGY B - WUFI ADVANCED

Thermal comfort calculation● Selection of rooms● International standards for simulation setpoints: residential / non

residential● Clothing and human activity● Analyzing the ISO 15215 and ASHRAE● Results of operative temperature and export data● Comfort evaluation tool● Monitoring and measurement

Indoor air quality evaluation

● Determination of CO2-level with dynamic simulation● Active House IAQ evaluation tool● Monitoring and measurements

DETAILS DAY 4: THERMAL COMFORT / AIR QUALITY

Visit Casa sul Parco (Fidenza)winner Award Best Active House 2018

● Presentation of the investor and constructor● Presentation of the architects and green landscape planer● Guide through the house, meeting with residents● Visit of the new building in construction „Giardino delle Gemme“

Leisure time

● Eating at Fidenza/Parma● Shopping in Italy's greatest shopping mall / outlet world

DETAILS DAY 5: CASA SUL PARCO VISIT (FIDENZA)

DETAILS DAY 6: WALKING IN THE ALPS

Walk &Discuss

Natural light simulation● The concept of natural light● Introduction and analysis of examples● Calculation of daylight factor and daylight autonomy● Choosing the rooms for Active House Evaluation

Workshop

● Practice with own projects

Tools

● Working with VELUX Daylight Visualizer● Advanced evaluation using Grasshopper

DETAILS DAY 7: DAYLIGHT SIMULATION

Water consumption● Importance of water● Water saving technologies● Evaluation tool

Sound proofing

● Sound propagation and acoustic quality● Comfort levels● Measurements

Sustainability

● Recycled/recyclable materials – Reforesting Wood - EPD● LCA: presentation of free AHA-tool and professional

software oneClick

DETAILS DAY 8: SUSTAINABILITY

Monitoring of the results● Monitoring Hardware, offline and cloud solutions● Analyzing results of CO2, inside air temperature and humidity and

external temperature● Checking energy consumption

BlowerDoor & BilVent● Test of airtightness and quality of construction with

BlowerDoor-Test● Check of the balanced ventilation plant

DETAILS DAY 8: MONITORING AND BWD
