3 Passivhaus is an evidence-based performance standard for buildings that delivers radically low-energy consumption, radically low CO 2 emissions, a healthy optimal indoor comfort with excellent air quality.

4 Passive House Standards Passive House Classic SHD<15kWh(m2)a and PE< 120kWh(m2)a Passive House Plus produces as much energy as it consumes Passive House Premium with surplus of energy EnerPHit renovated using certified components
