Study of the possibility of implementation in Finland of the Passivhaus concept in order to reduce energy consumption [PDF]
MATEC Web of Conferences, 2020 Passive building has been defined by Wolfgang Feist, Passivhaus Institut, as being the building that demand for heating must not be more than 15 kWh/m² year, and total consumption of primary energy should not be more than 120 kWh/m² year.

Evaluating Floor Losses in the Context of QUB Measurements of a Passivhaus Dwelling
Journal of Physics, Conference Series, 2023 Measuring the performance of building fabric is increasingly important as stakeholders wish to compare as-built performance with design expectations. When measuring whole house performance (Heat Transfer Coefficient) heat losses through the floor in slab-
