This document discusses Passivhaus standards and zero energy buildings. It provides examples of Passivhaus projects in Germany, Austria, Spain, Korea, and Italy. Specifically, it outlines a certified Passivhaus project in Vipiteno, Italy, including details on its heating period, heating degree days, and architectural drawings. The document promotes Passivhaus as an efficient building standard with over 85-90% reduction in total yearly energy demand compared to conventional buildings.

Dr Ioannis Pappas, CEO of Green Evolution SA and Secretary of the Hellenic Passive House Institute gave a presentation on the geothermal heat pump applications for low energy buildings: the case of Passive House. In this presentation, a thorough survey of applications for passive cooling in Mediterranean climate was given, together with examples of passive houses around the Mediterranean area.

With a new combination of existing technologies, we believe it is possible to create a renewable energy source –ultra deep EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems)– which is cheaper than coal.
The principle is simple: a higher temperature results in a better electricity conversion efficiency. So there is a double effect: a better conversion efficiency and the amount of available energy is higher. This double effect is stronger than the related cost of ultra deep drilling. Simple calculations demonstrate that ‘deeper is cheaper’.
