The document discusses the five principles of Passive House buildings: Passive House windows, thermal insulation, airtightness, thermal bridge free design, and appropriate ventilation. Passive House buildings use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling than regular buildings due to following these five principles together which provide remarkably low energy requirements and a comfortable indoor climate. The document advertises an event for the International Passive House Days where people can tour completed Passive House buildings to learn about the design principles firsthand from architects and residents.
