@virginmedia Broadband outage since 3pm this afternoon. BT28 Lisburn Northern Ireland. Update please.

@PHAIreland can you direct me to any #EnerPHit projects in Ireland (north or south) which are not domestic/residential. Thanks #passivhaus @__MosArt__

@ElrondBurrell @EsTresidder @JurajMikurcik @MarkSiddallRIBA @paulmknally I am using v10 but had the v9 manual next to me on shelf

Question to #passivhaus community. Would you treat a semi detached new build in DesignPH & PHPP as one building or as two ? The two semi detached will be PH certified. @JurajMikurcik @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA @EsTresidder @paulmknally #phpp

@EsTresidder @JurajMikurcik @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA @paulmknally Ok, further reading required in the PHPP instruction manual 🧐 #addlvent #ohjoy

@EsTresidder @JurajMikurcik @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA @paulmknally How/where do you input for respective MVHR units for each dwelling?

@ElrondBurrell @ArchTesta @JurajMikurcik @MarkSiddallRIBA @EsTresidder @paulmknally A good word to add to the brain. By stating there are 2 dwellings in the one building, when entering the data in PHPP eg Ventilation sheet, do u input data for 1 dwelling or does everything need to be doubled up, ie from 1 kitchen to 2 kitchens etc?

@EsTresidder @JurajMikurcik @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA @paulmknally I presume when it comes to the air tightness testing each dwelling is tested and an average is taken?

@RHDarch @JurajMikurcik @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA @paulmknally Yup.

What’s the best solution in #DesignPH to place a solid front door with a vertical side light? I’m getting alert error when running results. Honed problem down to door/sidelight but can’t solve issue? @PHAIreland @the_iPHA @ElrondBurrell @JurajMikurcik

@MSCCruisesUSA Sadly experienced a flood in our room on the #mscvirtuosa , real disappointment as 50th birthday today, friends also got flooded next door @apple #ipad and laptop ruined. Relocated in new abode.

@EsTresidder @ElrondBurrell @MarkSiddallRIBA The certifier has concluded that this area can be included, relevant height ratio to TFA.

@ElrondBurrell @RHDarch @MarkSiddallRIBA I was under the impression that there needed to be fixed access, but I’ve never actually had this situation on one of my projects, so I may well be misremembering. Check with certifier. My loft is all below 1m head height so doesn’t count either way, although it is very useful!

Can a loft space with - plastered walls & ceiling - floored - sloped ceiling - head height 2m + - within the thermal envelope - used for storage be included in a #passivhaus TFA ? If it accessed via a drop down ladder? @MarkSiddallRIBA @ElrondBurrell @EsTresidder

@AECBnet How do you claim the free ticket if you subscribe to the Passive House Plus magazine?

@virginmedia Says “Sorry, we can't run a test on your services right now”. Any help?

@RHDarch Can you log into the online account and run a fault test please? ^CW

@virginmedia @virginmedia broadband down in Lisburn NI ?

@virginmedia Says there is an issue with the TV

@RHDarch Hi RHD, thanks for the message. Is there anything currently showing on the service status page? ^CW

@nimtimtim @lb_southwark Similar frustration to a scheme here in NorthernIreland, planning request removal of S facing overhanging eaves and brise-soleil for a clipped eaves detail. Both passive shading devices to prevent potential summer overheating, ‘cos the neighbours don’t have them! #narrowminded 🤬

Disappointing to see planning officers in @lb_southwark requesting we change a proposal from low-carbon timber frame/ timber & timber composite board cladding with a green roof to a brick & cement tile alternative with significantly higher embodied carbon and reduced performance
