Overview

Read the Passive House Accelerator latest and past editions with case studies of passive house buildings.

The Passive House approach empowers us to build better. It creates durable, resilient buildings that slash heating energy use by as much as 90% and dramatically reduce operational carbon emissions. Passive House design tools and methods make these energy performance gains both cost-effective and predictable. You know what performance to expect with a certified Passive House. Most importantly, Passive House buildings create healthy, comfortable, and quiet interior environments, full of clean, filtered fresh air.

Passive House Accelerator highlights how the principles of Passive House design and construction can be applied to any building typology and in any climate. Each month the magazine features case studies and discusses challenges and successes.
