Indoor Air Quality Assessment of Latin America’s First Passivhaus Home

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2021
Sustainable building design, such as the Passivhaus standard, seeks to minimise energy consumption, while improving indoor environmental comfort. Very few studies have studied the indoor air quality (IAQ) in Passivhaus homes outside of Europe. This paper

Overheating assessment in Passivhaus dwellings: the influence of prediction tools

open access: yesBuildings & Cities, 2022
Thermal comfort during the summer in the Passivhaus concept relies mainly on natural ventilation to provide indoor cooling. Do airflow modeling tools accurately predict overheating in summer and for anticipated warmer climates?

Passivhaus [PDF]

open access: yesEncyclopedia, 2020
Passivhaus or Passive House buildings are low-energy buildings in which the design is driven by quality and comfort, hence achieving acceptable levels of comfort through post-heating or post-cooling of fresh air. Additionally, Passivhaus building design follows the Passivhaus design criteria, as described in the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP ...
