The planning of this building meets the criteria for Passive Houses established by
Mechanical System: TE Studio, Ltd. & Luefta GmbH the Passive House Institute.
Street: 3429 Benjamin St. NE If built as specified, the building will meet the following performance standards:
Postcode/City: Minneapolis, MN 55418
• The building features excellent insulation all around and best-practice detailing of component connection
Year of Construction: 2010 0.20 with regard to building physics. Appropriate summer shading has been considered. Heating and cooling
A/V Ratio:

Enclosed Volume Ve: 820.5 m3 Internal Heat Gains: 2.1 W/m2 load
Number of Occupants: 2.0
• The building envelope features excellent air tightness in accordance with ISO 9972, thereby guaranteeing
the minimization of ventilation losses and an interior free of drafts. The air change rate of the building
Specific Demands with Reference to the Treated Floor Area envelope at 50 Pascal pressure differential is limited to
Treated Floor Area: 164.5 m2 0.6 ACH, in reference to the building’s volume

• The building features a balanced ventilation system with high-rate filters, highly efficient heat recovery
Specific Space Heat Demand: 11 kWh/(m2 a) 15 kWh/(m2 a) Yes and low electric power consumption. The result is excellent indoor air quality as well as an exceptionally
low energy consumption overall.
Annual Heat Demand QH 1740 kWh/a
• The primary energy demand for space conditioning, domestic hot water, ventilation and household
Pressurization Test Result: 0.3 h -1 0.6 h-1 Yes electricity, under normal conditions, is below

Specific Primary Energy Demand This certificate is valid only in conjunction with the requisite supporting documents containing the exact
(DHW, Heating and Auxiliary Electricity) :
41 kWh/(m2 a) specifications and values upon which certification is based. Passive Houses are highly comfortable in
Specific Primary Energy Demand summer as well as in winter and can be conditioned with very little energy input, e.g. by fresh air heating and
Energy Conservation by Solar Electricity: 79 kWh/(m2 a) cooling. The building shell of a Passive House has uniformly warm interior surfaces: interior surface
Heating Load: 17 W/m2 temperatures of exterior shell components differ insignificantly from the indoor air temperatures. Under
Heating Load PH 2869 W normal conditions, the occurrence of drafts has been eliminated completely by means of the superior air
Frequency of Overheating: 2 % over 25 °C tightness. The ventilation system steadily assures excellent indoor air quality. Space conditioning costs in a
1 15 kWh/(m2a) Yes Passive House are very low. Due to the extremely low energy consumption, Passive Houses offer a security

energy resources are spent very economically and only small amounts of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other
pollutants are emitted.
