Definition and principles of passive design

Note: The language of the input is not specified. However, the text appears to discuss the concept of passive design in building construction, and the outline response is structured accordingly.

Heat exchange

Outside cold air goes into the heat exchanger and this will leave a warm supply of fresh air inside the house

Fresh air from the outside turns into warm air on the inside

MVHR

Dry rooms - Bedroom, hallway

wet rooms - utility rooms, bathrooms, kitchen

take in fresh air from the outside

fresh air around your house

Definition of a passive design

The concept of a passive house is to minimize heat loss and maximize heat gain.

The idea of a passive house is to maximize comfort in the house. Natural light/resources should also be taken into consideration and used as much as possible in the house.
