Perceived Comfort and Adaptive Process of Passivhaus ‘Participants’
Energy Procedia, 2015 AbstractPassivhaus methodology leads to buildings with very high thermal efficiency and high levels of airtightness. The focus of research in Passivhaus is energy performance. The experience of occupying a Passivhaus is often overlooked. This research takes into account social factors of comfort among Passivhaus ‘participants’; draws comparison between

Indoor Air Quality Assessment of Latin America’s First Passivhaus Home
Atmosphere, 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
Buildings & 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?
