- Definition: The term passive house (Passivhaus in German) refers to the rigorous, voluntary standard for energy use in buildings. It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. A similar standard, MINERGIE-P, is used in Switzerland. The standard is not exclusive to residential construction. Passive House design is NOT an add-on or supplement to architectural design, but an integrated design process with the architectural design.[3] Although it is mostly applied to new buildings, it has also been used for retrofits.
- The Passive House standard originated from a conversation in May 1988 between Professors Bo Adamson of Lund University, Sweden, and Wolfgang Feist of the Institut für Wohnen und Umwelt Institute for Housing and the Environment in Germany Inspired by early work in the US Started with research projects Created Passive House Standard Inspiration: early work in the U.S.!Their concept was developed through a number of research projects [8], aided by financial assistance from the German state of Hessen. The eventual building of four row houses (terraced houses) was designed for four private clients by architects professor Bott, Ridder and Westermeyer. After the concept had been validated at Darmstadt, with space heating 90% less than required for a standard new building of the time, the 'Economical Passive Houses Working Group' was created in 1996. This developed the planning package and initiated the production of the novel components that had been used, notably the windows and the high-efficiency ventilation systems. Meanwhile further passive houses were built in Stuttgart (1993), Naumburg, Hesse, Wiesbaden, and Cologne (1997) [9]. The products developed for the Passivhaus were further commercialised during and following the European Union sponsored CEPHEUS project, which proved the concept in 5 European countries over the winter of 2000-2001. While some techniques and technologies were specifically developed for the standard, others (such as superinsulation) were already in existence, and the concept of passive solar building design dates back to antiquity. There was also experience from other low-energy building standards, notably the German Niedrigenergiehaus (low-energy house) standard, as well as from buildings constructed to the demanding energy codes of Sweden and Denmark.
- What does it look like? The first Passivhaus buildings were built in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1990, and occupied the following year. Who is in charge of Passive House standard? In September 1996 the Passivhaus-Institut was founded in Darmstadt to promote and control the standard. In November 2007, launch of the Passive House Institute US
- Traditionally, add as much energy as it takes to heat or cool BTW, that is a very common approach in most industries today - if we need to change a state of an object or environmental parameters, we usually do that by utilizing more energy to do so. Example: Air Conditioning: On hottest day with most solar energy, we use a lot of electricity (from mostly coal) to cool houses (instead of shading properly, and harnessing the sun’s energy)

Example: Air Conditioning: On hottest day with most solar energy, we use a lot of electricity (from mostly coal) to cool houses (instead of shading properly, and harnessing the sun’s energy)
- Due to the dramatic reduction in space-conditioning energy needs, it is referred to as a passive house, as opposed to utilizing active measures to keep it conditioned. The difference being mainly in the energy amount that utilized and the fact, that passive house utilizes mostly solar and internal heat gains (passive energy sources).
- Economy: Significant conservation and improved performance = cost savings to the owner 90%+ savings on space-conditioning energy, 75%+ savings on source energy (pending household use pattern)> highly reduced utility cost Federal tax credits, local utility company incentives (as applicable) Potentially reduced homeowner’s insurance (due to reduced mechanical system and quality construction) Benefits of energy efficiency mortgage Cost asymptote occurs when a traditional heating system is eliminated
- Energy: Significant conservation and highly efficient operation Significantly less energy consumption Can be “fueled” by virtually any power source (future proof), Easier to “fuel” with renewable energy sources, cheaper to outfit with appropriately sized renewable energy sources, Crisis proof Renewables are smaller, hence more affordable. Zero site, or source energy, carbon neutrality, deep energy retrofit
- Environment: Significant conservation and improved performance = significantly reduced environmental impact Up to 75% savings on source energy = smaller CO 2 footprint Likely in use longer and maintained longer than average building, Less likely to need retrofit, reduction in energy used for construction and materials
- Health: Improved indoor environmental quality = improved health Guaranteed mechanical air-exchange 24/7—365 days a year, Tempered air (heat recovery ventilation), Controlled humidity, Slow and steady air movement (quiet and without drafts) Indoor surfaces are near room temperatur, virtually no radiant heat-loss potential Improved daylighting and solar exposure Studies show less potential for asthma, allergies, sickness Significantly reduced exposure to CO, pollutants, VOCs. Virtually no potential for mold, no radiant heat loss, healthy humidity levels, little to no noise pollution
- Comfort: Superinsulated building envelope = high level of comfort Indoor surfaces are near room-temperatur, virtually no radiant heat-loss potential Improved indoor environmental quality Extremely quiet inside due to superinsulation and high-performance windows very high (virtually no radiant heat loss, healthy humidity, fresh air, etc.)
- Durability: High quality planning and construction = extremely durable building Energy modeling, quality-controlled construction, field testing > predictable results Advanced window technology, longevity Reduced mechanical system, less moving parts = less maintenance Owner training, “understand your building”, Owner’s manual, “pass on the knowledge” Certified building standard
- Value: Best building energy standard available = incredible value Quality building, durability High performance building envelope Fully documented and certified Best starting point for an uncertain energy future sells up to 25% quicker, yields up to 10% more
- Conscience: Most efficient building energy standard available today = clear conscience

- Minimize losses, maximize gains. Energy Balance! A building is already warm inside going from summer into fall and winter. Passive House minimizes heat loss through insulation, windows & doors, and heat-recovery ventilation therefore retaining space-conditioning energy very effectively. Passive House utilizes passive solar heat gains through windows. Passive House utilizes internal heat gains from people and appliances. Additional heat comes from a tiny backup system for peak heat-load PH is an integrated system - all components work in concert. It is not a “bolt-on solution” but it can incorporate bolt-on measures. WHOLE IS GREATER THAN SUM OF PARTS. Traditionally, add as much energy as it takes to heat or cool. (BTW, that is a very common approach in most industries today - if we need to change a state of an object or environmental parameters, we usually do that by utilizing more energy to do so). Example: Air Conditioning: On hottest day with most solar energy, we use a lot of electricity (from mostly coal) to cool houses (instead of shading properly, and harnessing the sun’s energy)
- R-21 to R120+ (pending location)
- thermally broken windows, all connections designed thermal-bridge free 2 to 4-pane windows*, high solar heat gain solid or thermally broken frames*
- field tested with a sequence of three test, pressurized and depressurized impecable, continuous solid air-tight layer (i.e. OSB), thorough detailing, precise execution max. 0.6 ACH. Air-admittance valve.
- Heart of the mechanical system, provides most of the energy (up to 10W/m2), 90%+ efficient, balanced and duct-blasted, short duct runs, insulated ducts Other mechanical systems: insulated pipes, central location, air admittance valves, energy and water saving appliances, potentially renewable sources
- Proper orientation, solar exposure, proper summer and swing season shading, high solar heat gain glazing on south side. Near southern orientation, built-in shading
- people, appliances, equipment
- How do we measure the success? In Germany, we look at gas-mileage for homes. Instead of MPGs, we measure in kWh/m2 a or Btu/sf year
- ≤ 15 kWh/(m2 a) U.S. housing stock ~175 kWh/(m2 a) or 58,580 BTU/(sf yr) up to 90% + improvement determined in PHPP Achieved with the help of: Superinsulated Building Envelope, very good windows and doors, air-tight and thermal bridge-free construction, passive solar heat gains, internal heat gains, and an very efficient backup heating system
- ≤ 120 kWh/(m2 a) up to 75% + improvement determined in PHPP Achieved through conservation in both passive and active systems
- How do we measure the success? In Germany, we look at gas-mileage for homes. Instead of MPGs, we measure in kWh/m2 a or Btu/sf year In U.S. we currently use a comparative model: HERS Problem: nobody really knows what the basis is and buildings are compared on a point basis. Nowhere does it directly relate back to energy. Limited use, but realtor associations are looking to use it for a “green” realty label, MN starting 2009. HERS is determined by HERS rater. HERS (Home Energy Rating System), controversial and not absolute- uses comparison not actual energy modeling or monitoring Ratings provides a relative energy use index called the HERS Index – a HERS Index of 100 represents the energy use of the “American Standard Building” and an Index of 0 (zero) indicates that the Proposed Building uses no net purchased energy (a Zero Energy Building). Zero Site energy, nor really a zero energy building though. What is a HERS Rating? A home energy rating involves an analysis of a home’s construction plans and onsite inspections. Based on the home’s plans, the Home Energy Rater uses an energy efficiency software package to perform an energy analysis of the home’s design. This analysis yields a projected, pre-construction HERS Index. Upon completion of the plan review, the rater will work with the builder to identify the energy efficiency improvements needed to ensure the house will meet ENERGY STAR performance guidelines. The rater then conducts onsite inspections, typically including a blower door test (to test the leakiness of the house) and a duct test (to test the leakiness of the ducts). Results of these tests, along with inputs derived from the plan review, are used to generate the HERS Index score for the home. The HERS Index The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home’s HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Index corresponds to a 1% reduction in energy consumption compared to the HERS Reference Home. Thus a home with a HERS Index of 85 is 15% more energy efficient than the HERS Reference Home and a home with a HERS Index of 80 is 20% more energy efficient. For more information, visit the RESNET Web site . Comparing the New HERS Index with the Old HERS Score For homes rated before July 1, 2006, the rating score is known as a “HERS Score.” The HERS Score is a system in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 1993 Model Energy Code) has a HERS Score of 80. Unlike the HERS Index, each 1-point increase in a HERS Score is equivalent to a 5% increase in energy efficiency. Please see the table below for a comparison of the HERS Score and the HERS Index.
