Detail Passivhäuser entwerfen

Designing energy efficiency The passive house standard is increasingly becoming the international benchmark for energy-efficient construction. Passive houses are now being built in almost all parts of the world and for all types of users. PlusEnergy houses and entire city districts make it clear that the Passive House standard is also the basis for more far-reaching efficiency strategies. At the same time, many architects are also uncertain: What do Passive Houses really achieve, and what sources of error should be avoided during planning? The book "Designing Passive Houses" conveys the necessary certainty in dealing with the Passive House standard from the very first draft sketch. It shows the scope for design that exists in planning and explains design strategies that lead to better Passive Houses. International building examples from residential and non-residential construction are presented.
