Excited to be going to Colorado next week to visit the home of @SketchUp !

@NatWest_Help bit of a joke to say "Help reduce plastic waste... got a card reader from another bank, you could use that if yours stops working or goes missing. Please try avoiding ordering a new one if possible.", but can't enable existing one without ordering new one from you!

The public beta of designPH v2.2 IP / unit switcher is now available! https://t.co/tvtBbDqw7h

#DesignPH, a plug-in for #SketchUp that facilitates entering data into #PHPP ( #energymodelling tool for #Passivhaus) not only speeds it up, but allows users to compare changes to fabric spec & systems in terms of early stage #energysavings

@JurajMikurcik @AECBnet @RusswoodUK Thanks

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@JurajMikurcik @AECBnet Could you tell me what product the rainscreen is on the EcoCocon mockup? I understand you sourced it.

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

Low cloud shrouding Brecon Beacons en route to Hereford #aecb2022. See you soon @AECBnet it has been too long!!

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

Thanks to @abigail.dace.london for giving my trusty office chair a new lease of life! #reuse https://t.co/fkM8jstIXN

@JurajMikurcik @Beyondpassive @RHDarch @the_iPHA @PassivhausTrust @__MosArt__ @NYPassiveHouse @BuildPassUk we're already handling it...

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@singapore62 @ecominimalnick Because it is easier to achieve a low form factor (heat loss area / TFA) on a larger scheme. Hence lower space heat demand / unit of TFA.

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@ecominimalnick So this was to get the marks off the bath, not the HX itself?

"New features in designPH 2.0 with The Passive House Institute"

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@PatrickROsborne @EsTresidder @the_woodlouse @MoreOurselves Here is the AECB webinar mentioned in another thread by Andy. Dragos gives an overview at 32:50, I give a bit more detail at 43:15

[MoreOurselves @MoreOurselves]

@EsTresidder @the_woodlouse There is an aecb member only watch again webinar by the DesignPH software developers that demonstrates recent new features including shading @dme_arch

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@PatrickROsborne @EsTresidder @the_woodlouse @MoreOurselves Import (1) to PHPP and copy the summer shading factors to a separate sheet.
Import (2) to the same PHPP, then paste the copied summer shading factors back.

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@PatrickROsborne @EsTresidder @the_woodlouse @MoreOurselves That's a nice presentation (as always) by Ed May. Here is a bit more detail (in a nutshell):

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@PatrickROsborne @EsTresidder @the_woodlouse @MoreOurselves Edit the tree component and put leaves in a separate layer.
Run the analysis and export twice, (1) with leaves layer on (summer), (2) with leaves off (winter).

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@EsTresidder @MoreOurselves @the_woodlouse Definitely works on Mac, it's developed on Mac ;) Drop me a line if you get stuck again.

[Dave Edwards @dme_arch]

@HattieHartman @SustainableTall @WHurst1 @EvansVettori Nice work Phil. I appreciate it both on a professional / ethical level and as a fellow Derby native who had many formative memories there.
