What is a Passive House and how does it differ
from a conventional home?
Question 1

• A Passive House is a type of energy-efficient
  building that significantly reduces energy
  consumption for heating and cooling compared to
  conventional homes. It achieves this through
  rigorous design principles, such as superior
  insulation, airtight construction, optimized
  solar gain, and controlled ventilation systems.
• These features work together to create a highly
  comfortable and sustainable living environment.
  Unlike conventional homes, Passive Houses
  prioritize energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and
  environmental responsibility, resulting in lower
  energy bills, reduced carbon emissions, and
  improved overall well-being for occupants.

What are the key principles and features of
Passive House design?
Question 2

• The key principles and features of Passive House
  design include
• Superb insulation Thick insulation throughout
  the building envelope to minimize heat loss.
• Airtight construction Careful sealing to prevent
  air leakage and maintain a comfortable indoor
  environment.
• Optimal solar gain Strategic placement of
  windows to maximize natural light and heat during
  colder months.
• Mechanical ventilation Controlled ventilation
  with heat recovery to ensure fresh air while
  minimizing energy loss.
• High-performance windows Triple-glazed windows
  with low-emissivity coatings to enhance
  insulation and minimize heat transfer.

What are the key principles and features of
Passive House design?
Question 3

• Insulation plays a crucial role in Passive House
  construction by minimizing heat transfer through
  the building envelope.
• High-quality insulation materials and techniques
  are used to create a continuous thermal barrier,
  reducing the need for artificial heating and
  cooling. This ensures a stable and comfortable
  indoor temperature throughout the year.
• By effectively trapping heat inside during the
  winter and preventing heat gain during the
  summer, insulation in Passive Houses
  significantly reduces energy consumption, lowers
  utility bills, and enhances overall occupant
  comfort and well-being.

What are the comfort and health benefits
associated with living in a Passive House?
Question 4

• Living in a Passive House offers numerous comfort
  and health benefits.
• The superior insulation and airtightness of
  Passive Houses create a consistent and
  comfortable indoor temperature throughout the
  year, minimizing drafts and cold spots.
• The controlled ventilation systems ensure a
  constant supply of fresh, filtered air, promoting
  excellent indoor air quality and reducing
  allergens and pollutants.
• The stable indoor environment and reduced noise
  infiltration enhance overall comfort and
  well-being.

What are the environmental benefits of living in
a Passive House?
Question 5

• Living in a Passive House offers several
  environmental benefits.
• Due to their exceptional energy efficiency,
  Passive Houses significantly reduce energy
  consumption and lower carbon emissions compared
  to conventional homes.
• This reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
  contributes to mitigating climate change and
  promoting environmental sustainability.
• Additionally, the use of sustainable materials
  and construction practices in Passive House
  design further reduces the ecological footprint.
  By choosing to live in a Passive House,
  individuals can actively contribute to a greener
  future by minimizing their impact on the
  environment and preserving valuable natural
  resources.
