Passive House Design: Changing the Future of New Home Construction
Briefly

Building with Passive House standards may be the single largest opportunity to reduce carbon footprint and move towards sustainable energy use, with a reduction of over 70% in energy consumption and 60% in carbon footprint.
Passive House design principles focus on creating a super-efficient building envelope, reducing heating and cooling energy needs by up to 80-90%, leading to significant savings in energy usage.
Key elements of a Passive House include super insulation, airtightness, high-quality windows, and efficient mechanical systems, ensuring energy efficiency and healthy indoor air quality.
