Passive house
In passive houses, a comfortable temperature can be achieved in winter as well as in summer without an active heating or air conditioning system. They offer higher comfort with a thermal heat requirement of less than 15 kWh/m2a and a primary energy requirement including warm water and household electricity of less than 120 kWh/m2a.
Passive houses durably relieve the environment of atmospheric CO2 emissions and remaining emissions from energy transformation.
