PHPP Sync - designPH straight into PHPP (no export file), plus what a standard PHPP still needs

PHPP- Source- Location-

Addresses, and the architect, engineers and certifier: tab 5. Left empty, the PHPP keeps what it has - the building name is never taken from the file name.

Climate
Climate data set

Synced like the geometry: designPH's set goes into the PHPP every sync - nothing to choose. Pick another set only to change designPH's (it's written to designPH and the PHPP). If the PHPP's climate data lacks the set, the preview says so: Update from PHPP Tools.

Building
Building type
Occupants
Number of occupants (projected / non-res)

PHPP standard: Verification works the occupancy out from the TFA, and the DHW sheet follows it (taps per person, kitchen and cleaning per dwelling). Projected: your number replaces it everywhere. Non-res: occupants per day for the DHW sheet's non-residential calculation (H58) - it also overrides the DHW occupants, so leave homes on standard or projected.

Specific heat capacity
Solid / partly solid surfaces (of the 6 around a room) / = Wh/(m²K)

PHPP (Verification K30): 60 + 8 × partly solid + 24 × solid surfaces - e.g. concrete slab floor only = 84, all solid = 204. Written as that formula.

designPH doesn't say which: area group 11 goes in as this type. Unheated basement and crawl space details stay the PHPP's (Ground sheet).

Left blank: 24 h × 7 days - certification assumes the cooling is available all the time. Units: your Library first (combination units for list 1, heat pumps for list 2 - one of your own goes into a PHPP user row), then everything in this PHPP for the chosen list. Cooling pipes: tab 2.

Heat generation (PER)

Direct electricity and other generators need no unit.

Off: the PHPP keeps the whole sheet as it is. Blank fields: the PHPP keeps that cell. Defaults are the SSA template's. Values you change in the PHPP itself are kept from then on (the preview lists them).

Heat delivery and heating pipes
Flow temperature, °C
Mountings insulation (pipes)
Room temp. outside pipes, °C (blank = PHPP)

Heating pipes only for a hydronic system (radiators, underfloor): blank length = none, the PHPP keeps the block. The heat pump's delivery (HP sheet) follows the first of underfloor / radiators / supply air ticked here, unless chosen in tab 1.

Blocks left empty aren't written - the PHPP keeps what it has. Only your company (the energy consultancy) carries over to new projects. The client, architect, engineer and certifier belong to this project: type them in, or pick one from your saved contacts (Save to contacts keeps one for next time).

SketchUp won't respond until this is done - that's normal. On a big model with designPH running it can take a minute or two.
