Key points to the construction of passive houses or passivhaus<\/i><\/h2><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>

Building a passive house or passivhaus has become an option increasingly taken into account by developers and clients, committed to sustainability and care for the environment, but also with a clear intention of saving on energy consumption in the home, building\u00a0fficient homes<\/a>. Indeed, the investment in the construction of a passive house is clearly amortized over time, due to the significant reduction in energy costs it generates.<\/p>\n

As an introduction and following the description of\u00a0passive houses on Wikipedia,\u00a0<\/a>we will say that passivhaus construction is based on the principles of bioclimatic architecture and\u00a0energy efficiency<\/a>, with a clear objective: the resulting building has practically no [highlight]energy consumption[\/highlight], while ensuring a comfortable temperature indoors throughout the year, without excessive heat or cold.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Passivhaus construction principles<\/h2><\/div>

Specifically, buildings constructed to\u00a0passivhaus\u00a0<\/em>standards must meet a number of requirements. The first one is reducing heating and cooling needs by 75%, while the rest of the energy can easily be covered by renewable energy. Additionally, to obtain Passivhaus certification, buildings must meet these requirements:<\/p>\n
