Passivhaus Standard

The Passivhaus Standard is a rigorous set of guidelines for building highly energy-efficient homes with minimal environmental impact. It emphasizes excellent insulation, airtight construction, high-quality windows, and balanced ventilation with heat recovery. These features reduce the need for heating and cooling, making the building very comfortable while using significantly less energy. Essentially, Passivhaus homes are designed to stay warm in winter and cool in summer naturally, leading to lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint, all without sacrificing comfort or air quality.
