Passive House Design: The Gold Standard of Efficiency

Passive House Design: The Gold Standard of Efficiency

Content

Passive house design emphasizes extreme efficiency by using insulation, airtight construction, and smart ventilation.

Core Features:

• Super-insulated walls and windows.

• Airtight building envelopes to prevent leaks.

• Heat recovery ventilation systems.

• Maximized natural light and passive solar gain.

Why It Matters:

• Reduces heating/cooling needs by 70–90%.

• Creates a consistently comfortable indoor climate.

• Enhances long-term durability of the building.

Global Adoption: Countries like Germany, Canada, and now U.S. cities are increasingly mandating passive principles for new builds.
