PassivHaus: A Guide to Design and Construction

By Mark Siddall

Book Overview

Buildings designed to the PassivHaus standard are emerging as one of the most effective means of reducing energy use and carbon emissions, often by as much as 80-90%. In the drive to minimise the impact of climate change the potential of buildings designed, built, or refurbished to the PassivHaus standard is considerable. It is worthy of note that this demanding standard places a great deal of emphasis upon the design of the building envelope and as a consequence a high level of skill is required throughout the design and construction process.
