What are passive apartments?
Probably you are listening often these words lately. We want to explain to you in a simple way what’s a passive appartment and the conditions it should have to be considered so.
Passive houses or nearly Zero Emisions Building (nZEB) are efficient homes regarding power consumption. This make them ecologic and respectful buildings with the environment. They are designed under a global strategy which uses bioclimatic architecture to get very low power expenses. In general terms it may reduce about a 90% the consumptions of a traditional house.
The 5 principles of Passive House
Thermal Insulation
Passive Houses avoid the heat to escape when there are low temperatures and prevent it of getting in if it’s hot.
Thermal bridge free design
Thermal bridges are points where heat losses take place. A passive construction detects these leaks in order to correct them.
High-performance windows & doors
Doors and windows are key points in the transmission of heat. As the rest of the house, they should be suitable to get a proper enveloping.
Airtightness
Airtightness is the capability of the building’s exterior cover of blocking the path of air currents
Heat recovering ventilation
Dual-flow ventilation system with heat recovering allows to replace the air of a room and warm it by using the air which is getting out.
