Compared to current building code, the Passive House standard results in roughly 90% lower heating and cooling energy use and up to 45% lower energy use. The benefits of the Passive House standard extend far beyond its high energy savings. Passive Houses are healthier and more resilient because of controlled ventilation, tight air sealing and extensive insulation. As more buildings are brought to this standard, consumer expectations and developer incentives and feasibility will rise, creating a broader market for highly efficient buildings.
