Buildings are responsible for :
Energy performance of buildings is key to achieve the EU Climate &
Energy objectives, namely the reduction of a :
• 40% of energy consumption
• 36% of EU CO2 emissions
• 20% of the Greenhouse gases
emissions by 2020
• 20% energy savings by 2020

Improving the energy performance of Buildings :
Is as Cost effective
of Fighting against
Climate Change
A Way to Energy
Security
We have Less
Carbon Emissions
Also Creating Job
Opportunities
4. Energy Pyramid
41% of all energy in EU is used by
buildings
33% of all energy in EU used for
transport
26% of all energy in EU
is used by industry
5. Energy Status in Buildings
68% of energy consumption in buildings is
used for heating and cooling
80% of energy consumption is used in small
buildings < 1000 m2
6. Now it is easy to understand why the “Passive House
Standard” is the new TREND !!
.
7. What is the “Passive House Standard”
The term “passive house” (Passivhaus in German) refers to the
rigorous, voluntary, “Passivhaus standard” for energy
efficiency in a building, reducing its ecological footprint.
It results in ultra-low energy buildings that require little
energy for space heating, cooling and hot water.
The standard is not confined to residential properties. Several
office buildings, schools, kindergartens, supermarkets,
hospitals, etc have also been constructed to the standard.

“Passive House” design is not an attachment or supplement to
architectural design, but a design process that is integrated
with architectural design.
Although it is mostly applied to new buildings, it has also been
used for refurbishments.
9. The Requirements
The Passivhaus standard requires that the building fulfills
the following requirements:
The building must be designed to have an annual heating demand as
calculated with the Passivhaus Planning Package of not more than
15 kWh/m² per year (4746 btu/ft² per year) in heating and
15 kWh/m² per year cooling energy OR to be designed with a
peak heat load of 10W/m².
Total primary energy (source energy for electricity and etc.)
consumption (primary energy for heating, hot water and electricity)
must not be more than 120 kWh/m² per year
(3.79 × 104 btu/ft² per year).
10. The “Passive House Standard” is the only closest to the
“Zero Energy Standard”
These days it is very easy to accomplish “Zero Energy Building”
using the “Passive House Standard”
“ More home … less energy … more life … ”
