PH-San Plus - Catalogue of Passivhouse Details for Refurbishments

A Catalogue of Passivhouse Details for Refurbishments for buildings of all building periods from the 1870 to the 1980s. Special consideration to the refurbishment of building parts in contact with the earth. Integration of controlled ventilation services. Construction elements description with drawings, building physical data and ecological life cycle assessment.
This project aims at contributing to "Replicable refurbishment concepts for meeting passive house (or comparable) standard in buildings of all building periods".

Titel und Synopse

PH-San Plus - Passivhaus-Sanierungsbauteilkatalog. Zweite Ausbaustufe

Bauteilkatalog für Gebäudesanierungen auf Passivhausstandard für Baualtersklassen von Gründerzeit bis 80er Jahre. Besonderes Augenmerk auf die Sanierung erdberührter Bauteile. Integration von Lüftungsanlagen. Konstruktionen mit zeichnerischer Darstellung, bauphysikalischen Kenndaten und ökologischer Bewertung über den gesamten Lebenslauf.
Das Projekt liefert einen Beitrag zu "Multiplizierbare Sanierungskonzepte aller Baualters-klassen auf Passivhaustandard und/oder vergleichbare Standards".

Summary

Starting point / motivation

Based on the IBO Catalogue of Details for Passive Houses (funded by Haus der Zukunft as "N-GL: Construction Elements and Building Materials for Buildings with High-Level Thermal Insulation - Technology, Building Physics, Ecological Rating, Costs (in Austria)" and published in an extended an bilingual edition by SpringerWienNewYork 2008 as "Passivhaus-Bauteilkatalog | Ökologisch bewertete Konstruktionen | Details for Passive Houses | A Catalogue of Ecologically Rated Constructions") -

based further on a pilot study funded by Haus der Zukunft as "The Passive House Catalogue of Building details for renovations", which evaluates refurbishment projects funded by Haus der Zukunft with respect to construction details -

IBO wishes to develop a catalogue of building details for high quality refurbishments.

Contents and goals

With a Catalogue of Details for Refurbishments up to the passive house standard level, which is proposed here, it is aimed to provide a standard reference for sustainable solutions and basics of renovation of old building stock. Target audience will be

  • architects and building engineers
  • contractors and plumbers (contractors for building services)

Construction details that are evaluated with regard to building physics, ecological life cycle and technical quality, will be offered to architects, contractors and building material producers.

Typical refurbishment tasks as loft conversions, damp-proofing of cellars or renovation of façades will be dealt with systematically. Aspects of ecological life cycle evaluation and of hygiene (indoor air quality) will be considered in choosing among available innovative solutions. State of the art procedures in building refurbishment will be optimized with attention to:

  1. Energy efficiency: passive house standard or refurbishment using passive house compatible components (doors, windows, thermal insulation, mechanical ventilation, …)
  2. Ecological quality and indoor air quality: use of building materials and bonding techniques with low ecological impact, re-use of building materials.
  3. Technical quality: avoiding constructions that are prone to failure from the viewpoint of building physics, choice of sturdy, simple and durable solutions

Constructions will be shown as regular sections and connection details, supported by informative text.

Methods of treatment

Construction details will be

  1. arranged systematically according to building tasks and to historical building design epochs (from the late 19th century through the late 20th century)
  2. recalculated with an uniform building physical description and calculation and
  3. ecological calculation and rating
  4. and presented according to the methodology of the Catalogue of Detais for Passive Houses (which has been developed with HdZ funding by the applicant)

Print layouts and web layouts that the applicant has developed before (in the course of HdZ funded projects) are available for the presentation of the results.
