What is a Passive House? 

A Passive House is the most stringent building energy standard in the world. Buildings that meet the Passive House Standards use 80% less energy than conventional buildings. A Passive House conserves energy by creating a virtually air-tight, super insulated, compact building envelope that uses the sun and internal gains to achieve space conditioning. A heat recovery ventilator (HRV) is used to condition extract air and provide superior indoor air quality.
