Passive House Standards

Passive House Standards refer to a set of rigorous building principles aimed at creating highly energy-efficient structures. These standards focus on excellent insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and balanced ventilation to minimize energy use for heating and cooling. The goal is to achieve maximum comfort and indoor air quality with minimal energy consumption, often reducing heating and cooling needs by up to 90%. While the initial costs may be higher, ongoing energy savings and reduced environmental impact make Passive House buildings sustainable and cost-effective over time.
