Road in London February 2017

15-40 was officially launched at the Building
Centre, London on 28 October 2014
We welcomed over 100 invitees to the event of our presentations on "WHY
15-40" the metric of 15 to 40 kWh/m2yr for space heating and what they
exactly mean for a typical project, followed by discussions.We've been working together on several projects by sharing a commitment to radically reduce the energy consumption of buildings.
Passivhaus project current work -
dealing with thermal bridges
psi-values, the measurements of heat loss in a liner thermal bridge are
put in the PHPP (Passive House Planning Package).
In a low-energy building, the influence of thermal bridge is significant as an extra heat loss. May 2014
SketchUp and Passivhaus
design PH has been developed by Dave Edwards, the Passive House Institute, to provide a 3D modelling interface that works together with SketchUp and PHPP (Passive House Planning Package).Junko has participated in the development and improvement of this plugin. http://designph.org/

Passive Design
Junko will give some talk
about passive design this summer in Kobe, Japan. http://kiito.jp/schedule/seminar/article/3690/

"Piece-of-future lab" series of lectures at KIITO, Design and Creative
Centre Kobe. http://kiito.jp/english/
Title: A Passive Design Rethink
In the 1970s "passive design" emerged in opposition to "actively" or mechanically serviced architecture, which was damaging natural ecological systems by consuming energy excessively. It was seen to be jeopardising the very basis for a sustainable future.
These lectures visit the historical background of passive design and current passive architecture in the UK and Japan. A discussion about its application to current ways of living follows.
14 July 2013 lecture 1
What is passive design? Historical background, vernacular architecture and the idea of "passive versus active".
The lecture will address passive design, not just as a view on architectural style or technique but also as choices to be made in life-style.
14 July 2013 lecture 2
A review of the current evolution of "passive" with technology, methods, and building science. More examples from Europe and the UK.
15 July 2013 Talk session with Mr.Takashi Serizawa, Executive Director of Design and Creative Centre Kobe, and P3 art and environment
Passive design and our future - Discussions on passive technologies that suit the culture and climate in Japan. Modern solutions for domestic living, for lives that will need to be lived with a smaller consumption of energy.
