State of Art on Passive House Standards Analysis in Terms of Energy Performance

The building sector is a major contribution to the total final energy consumption all over the world. Implementing energy-efficient technologies and strategies is considered one effective method to significantly reduce the energy consumption of buildings. With increased awareness of environmental concerns and rising energy costs, the Passive House Buildings are rapidly spreading in response to the increasing demand for energy efficient buildings. The Passive House (PH) standard offers a cost-effective approach to minimize the energy demand of buildings in line with the global principle of sustainability. By significantly decreasing energy consumption, Passive Houses provide affordable comfort. The present study provides a succinct overview of Passive House buildings’ fundamental design principles and state of the art on passive house buildings analysis in terms of energy performance.
