Obstacles of
Passive House
in Turkey


PASSIVE HOUSE

•„passive“ doesn`t make sense in Turkish and doesn„t
sound very sexy
• Private idea – no legal standard (confusion, …)
• No abundant component market (lack of rivalry, aligned)
• Experts needed (costs,…)
• Missing quality of craftsmanship (costs, …)
• All this certifications (fears, costs, …)
• PHPP (no interest, fee, …)
• Limited design freedom and new technologies (fears, …)
• Thermal bridge free construction (costs, …)
• Optimized building services (costs, …)
