9 What is a Passive House: Objective Passive House Standard Sustainability Buildings built better Comfort Cost effectiveness Flexible, straightforward and open to all

10 Background and definition 1 Thermal insulation: U 0.15 W/(m²K) U w 0.8 W/(m²K) 5 Ventilation with heat recovery 75% outside air waste air 2 Avoid thermal bridge effects a 0.01 W/(mK) 4 Airtight envelope n /h exhaust air supply air 3 3-pane glazing: U g 0.8 W/(m²K) g-value 50-55%

11 Background and definition Climate independent Passive House definition A Passive House is a building in which thermal comfort [ISO 7730] can be guaranteed by postheating or post-cooling the fresh-air flow required for a good indoor air quality without additional recirculation. 11

12 Background and definition Passive House criteria* Heating demand 15 KWh/(m²yr) OR Heating load 10 W/m² Cooling demand 15 KWh/(m²yr) OR Cooling load 10 W/m² *all based on treated floor area Primary energy demand 120 KWh/(m²yr)** Airtightness n50 0.6ac/h **including (DHW, heating, cooling, auxiliary & household electricity) 12

13 Background and definition Passive House criteria* Heating demand 15 KWh/(m²yr) OR Heating load 10 W/m² Primary energy demand 120 KWh/(m²yr)** Cooling demand 15 KWh/(m²yr) OR Cooling load 10 W/m² Airtightness n50 0.6ac/h *all based on treated floor area **including (DHW, heating, cooling, auxiliary & household electricity) 13

14 Specific Heat Capacity of Air: 1.005kJ/Kg.K Density of Air: kg/m 3 SHC per m 3 : kj/k For wall height of 2.5m & ach -1 of 0.5, 1.3m 3 of air is exchanged each hour allowing 1.81 kj/k of heat to be transported by air per m 2 of floor area (0.42W/Km 2 ). Assuming a lift of 25 C is possible (avoiding dust scorching), the max amount of heat transferable by air is 10W/m 2.

60 Irish Times, 16 th May 2016 The Department of the Environment has advised Dun Laoghaire - Rathdown County Council to seek legal advice in an ongoing disagreement between the two bodies over building standards. The department opposes a decision by councillors requiring new buildings to meet specific eco-friendly standards and has sought its own legal advice on the issue. The passive house standard has been included in the county development plan despite persistent objections from the department as well as the former minister for the Environment Alan Kelly. The councillors have now written to the new Minister Simon Coveney, saying any intervention by the department to change the development plan would be a breach of local democracy and an insult to voters. The standard involves the use of high levels of insulation and typically triple-glazed windows in new buildings, which makes them virtually airtight. But the Government has argued that it threatens housing supply by forcing builders to meet excessive requirements. 60
