Passive House - February 2, 2012
Passive houses are airtight buildings that use heat from appliances and even the occupants’ bodies for warmth. They have a high level of
insulation, are oriented to maximize winter sun and use a heat exchanger to warm outside air that circulates throughout. The result is a house that needs little or no extra energy for heating, even in very cold climates.
