Things to consider…
•
The ‘link’ between the PHPP and DesignPH is not ‘live’. It’s a oneway export from DesignPH into the PHPP.
•
If you change something in PHPP, it does not change in the DesignPH model.
•
It may (often) be easier to experiment with building variants in PHPP rather than DesignPH.
•
You’ll still have many inputs that need to be completed in the PHPP after import (DHW, Cooling, PER, Variants, etc…)

Things to consider…
•
DesignPH simulation results preview in Sketchup are approximate only. PHPP is the more accurate.
•
DesignPH doesn’t give any preview results for cooling or Primary Energy
•
DesignPH has no inputs for DHW, appliances, etc…
•
DesignPH has no inputs for Non-Residential
•
DesignPH is an EXPORTER. Not a replacement for the PHPP
