How you get passive house certification

You want to get passive house certification, but you don't know exactly what you need to do. Here you fint all you need to meet the strict Passive House certification criteria.

In this moment there are more than 30 Passive House accredited Certifiers in the world. Why you need a Passive House Certification? The certification provides an important and visible form of quality assurance. The first criteria: the Heating Energy Need is not to exceed 15 kWh per square meter of net living space (dealt with flooring location) each year or 10 W per square meter peak demand. In climates where active cooling is needed, the Area Cooling Energy Demand requirement roughly matches the heat need requirements above, with an additional allowance for dehumidification. The second criteria: the Renewable Main Energy Need (PER, inning accordance with PHI technique), the overall energy to be used for all domestic applications (heating, hot water and domestic electricity) should not exceed 60 kWh per square meter of treated floor area each year for Passive Home Classic. Three: In regards to Airtightness, an optimum of 0.6 air modifications per hour at 50 Pascals pressure (ACH50), as validated with an onsite pressure test (in both pressurized and depressurized states). Four. Thermal comfort should be fulfilled for all living locations throughout winter along with in summertime, with not more than 10 % of the hours in a given year over 25 ° C. For a complete introduction of general quality requirements (soft criteria) see Passipedia.

The Passive House is the world's prominent standard for energy-efficient building and construction; the savings in heating costs are generally over 80 % in contrast with the national statutory requirements for brand-new constructions. The heating demand is less than 15 kWh/(m ² a) in the Passive House, based upon the "heated/cooled functional area" (TFA, roughly: the living area). The approach for developing a Passive Home for a specific building job and a specific environment is explained in typically available literature-- the tools needed for this, like the PHPP for example, are available on the market. There are numerous Qualified Passive House Components available-- for main European environment zones along with for other environments. Based on the requirements for Passive Homes, there are also requirements for older structures. Read the full article

First Energy Efficient house in Kanto, Japan

The design approach was to create a simple, two-storey unit that would fit into a mature neighbourhood. After you have taken off your shoes in the entrance area essential to any Japanese house, a spacious staircase leads up to a living-dining area on the first floor, which is designed open plan in order to make the best use of daylight. The well-positioned windows frame nice views over the river and the hills of Kamakura. The site does not have enough private open space at the ground-floor level. To overcome this problem, the architects designed an access from the dining space to a roof garden. The building itself had to be constructed within a very limited budget due to the high purchase price of the site (approx.2,500 Euro/m²). The house was built using the Canadian 2/6-inch timber-frame construction method and insulated with wood-fibre insulation.

The wood-aluminum composite windows with triple glazing were shipped over from Germany, as windows with such high energy performance are not yet produced in Japan. To match the surrounding environment, charcoaled cedar panelling was chosen as the external wall finish. This is a very traditional construction material in Japan, because it is known to be highly durable against moisture and insects, an issue relevant to the local climate. There is currently no minimum energy-efficiency requirement for new residential buildings in Japan; a house with singleglazed windows and no insulation is still acceptable.

KEY ARCHITECTS tried to find a comfortable balance between summer and winter by applying the Passive House principle. In such a humid sub-tropical climate, reducing the dehumidification and cooling demand during summer is more difficult than reducing the heating demand in winter. Another conflicting issue involved the strict earth quake requirements for Japan, which require rigid load-bearing walls instead of diffusion-open walls that prevent condensation within the external walls during both summer and winter months.
