Passive House European Commission Energy Action Plan: Passive House standard must be the norm for new housing by 2015 UK Government Passive house by 2012 Zero carbon by 2016
Where do we stand 200 kWh/m2  -  existing building stock 100 kWh/m2 – standard renovation 50 kWh/m2 – new homes 30 kWh/m2 – 3 liter house 15 kWh/m2 – passive housing

Quality criteria Heat demand less than  15 kWh/m2 Total energy less than  120 kWh/m2  in primary energy Passive House Certificate [Note: electricity has factor of over 2.5]
15 kWh/m2 Continuous insulation U values in range of  0.10 – 0.15 W/m 2 K U glazing in range of  0.5 – 0.8 W/m 2 K U window frames around  0.8 W/m 2 K No thermal bridges No unwanted air leakage
15 kWh/m2 A breathing indoor environment Balanced ventilation  with heat recovery Operable windows Summer night ventilation
Summer night ventilation Ventilation rate between 4 – 20 depending on climate and temperature difference Night ventilation allows building to cool during evenings and night
 
 
 
The two remaining energy uses in passive house require Low energy domestic hot water system read as solar collector for DHW Low energy electrical appliances read as devices with real on/off buttons read as connecting drying, and washing to heating and ventilation
Nieuw Terbregge Rotterdam Low Energy Demand Solar thermal collectors Combined Heat and Power
Why should we do it Need for a robust standard, which may survive next 50 years New distributed energy generation does not come in large quantities Small energy demand can be met by high % renewable energy
Why should we provide it Rational approach high performance building envelope design flexibility Good quality construction work Better life cycle costs Healthy buildings with low carbon impact
Why should people buy it Good location Nice buildings to live in Services and amenities around Extremely low energy costs Extremely good comfort so … Good value for money
Quote from Austria How do people experience their passive house?   Room air temperature more comfortable (than in previous house) in winter Warm wall surface temperature very positive, no cold feet  Ventilation system overall very good! (no excessive air  stream) Lots of natural lighting in the living rooms  Source: Ecotech, Austria
But … can we build it ? Recent study in The Netherlands showed that passive housing can be done in all major construction methods Tunnel walls + concrete floors Calcium silicate + concrete floors Timber frame + floors DHV BAM VDM Rockwool Builddesk Passiefbouwen.nl
Passive Houses in Austria 5% of all new houses are built in passive house standard In  2010 it is expected to have 25% - 40% of all new houses in passive house quality

Design Strategy Source: SINTEF, Norway The Kyoto Pyramide   Passive energy design process Reduce  heat loss Select energy- source Display and control  energy consumption Utilize solar heat Reduce electricity consumption
Towards zero emission Passive House standard to achieve low energy demand On site renewable energy to cover a significant part of the energy balance Off site renewables help improve the overall performance of the energy grid
energy demand on site renewables CO 2  emission offsite renewable energy Green electricity Offshore wind
Energy = new market paradigm Low carbon legislation will come House Builders have got new competitors: the new energy providers The question is who will benefit: the House Builders or the energy providers And what the costs of living shall be Passive House offers the answers
Local authorities Local authorities can play a major role in demanding low energy demands of buildings There is a lot of local labour needed to improve the existing stock Low energy demand means low costs for inhabitants: energy you don’t use, you don’t have to pay for !
