Passivhaus is a voluntary standard for achieving low energy buildings, far exceeding the requirements of current Building Regulations. A Passivhaus building provides a high level of occupant comfort whilst using very little energy for heating and cooling, therefore reducing the building ecological footprint. Understanding energy balancing is the key for designing a Passivhaus building, as there are many ways to meet the Passivhaus criteria.
