Buildings Certification

Seeking a certification is much more than just following the principles as the process of certification guarantees that the building will perform without any flaws.

This process builds on the 5 design principles: Climate-Appropriate Insulation Levels, Airtight Building Envelope, Thermal Bridge Free Design, High-Performance Windows, Continuous Ventilation with Heat Recovery.

It is recommended to involve a Passive House Consultant/Designer in the early planning stage to be able to uncover potential issues and solve them before starting with the construction.

EnerPHit is a slightly relaxed version created for retrofit projects, since you’re not in control of the building’s orientation, structure, shape or amount of glazing. However, it is still a very demanding standard that outperforms any new-built property.
