Better integration for Passivhaus PHPP for better sustainable design

[rogerbythesea]

As building energy standards become more demanding, we need design tools that allow these to be considered early.

At least in the UK, Passivhaus and PHPP are regarded as being one of the most robust and longstanding.

However it is still a struggle to get solid transfer of data to PHPP to allow it to be used as a 'live' design tool.

Some kind of 'Live Connection' such as with Grasshopper, would allow the technical performance and design to be combined more seamlessly. PHPP is recognised as a 'gold standard' tool in many markets, so it would make sense to support it as we move to more demanding climatic conditions (design for shading/solar gain etc) and stringent energy standards where early design decisions are making more difference.

We need better integration for Passivhaus in all segment 😉

Eco designer is not working for passive house designers like me. We need a simple live connection to PHPP soon or many archicad users need to switch platforms in the near future. Revit already has a live connection. We hope archicad understands the urge to build it in in archicad 29.

Graphisoft probably understand this situation, but work slowly.
In any case, switching to revit because of PHPP is not a solution. 
Solution could be more pressure from 'us' users.
