5 Passive House Principles

So...what exactly is Passive House?

Passive House is a building design standard that can reduce energy use by as much as 90% compared to conventional construction. It can be applied to any building type and style, including residential, multi-family, commercial municipal, and manufacturing.

Five Passive House Principles include:

  • Solar Orientation

  • Super Insulation

  • High Performance Windows and Doors

  • Airtight Construction

  • Balanced Ventilation
