Regional Climate Data

Climate data for the certifcation of UK based projects

The use of appropriate climate data is essential to accurately designing a Passivhaus as climate files used in PHPP define the boundary conditions upon which all of the thermal modelling calculations are based.  BRE has produced 22 regional UK climate data sets that have been checked and ratified by the Passivhaus Institut. These dataset provides Passivhaus designers with data suitable for certification across the UK.

BRE can also provide a bespoke service for generating site specific climate data sets for your Passivhaus project, to download our purchase order form click here.
