Innovative Materials for Building a New Passive House If you are reading this blog, you likely already know that a passive house is an ultra-low energy building that can reduce utility consumption by as much as 70% over standard construction types. And with society's increasing demands for becoming carbon-neutral, net-zero passive housing--the world’s highest standard in energy-efficient buildings, is drawing more and more interest from builders and developers. If you…
Coinciding with the launch of the English PHPP 10, the Passive House Institute has published updated building criteria, which define the requirements for certification relating to the Passive House, EnerPHit and PHI Low Energy Building standards. Among other things, the calculation of the limit values now takes into account the boundary conditions of a specific building. This applies to the primary energy demand of densely occupied residential and office buildings…
