Passivhaus is a design standard that delivers healthy, comfortable and efficient buildings.

What is Passivhaus?
Passivhaus is a holistic construction certification standard that was originally developed in Germany and has since spread throughout the world.
The standard empowers Certified Passivhaus professionals with the flexibility to determine the most suitable building geometry and materials based on usage and location.
Passive buildings are thus comprised of a set of design principles used to attain a quantifiable and rigorous level of energy efficiency within a specific quantifiable comfort level under a “fabric first” design philosophy.
To that end, a Passivhaus building is designed and built in accordance with five building science principles that, when implemented correctly, achieve the technical Passivhaus metrics required for certification.
