Passivhaus / ‘Passive House’ Standards
Posted on November 8th, 2011
Passive House is an energy performance standard in the context of sustainable housing. In the UK, there are as many as 30,000 buildings built to the Passive House standard till date. What’s special about the Passivhaus Standards, one may well ask. Its main strength is simplicity. This standard enables a ‘totally green’ house to be built – one that has “excellent thermal performance, exceptional airtightness with mechanical ventilation”.
