Function

We do not want to rely on FOSSIL fuels to heat the house
Active Heating = Oil boilers or heating systems that are not renewable.
Comfortable environment

Definition of passive design

Subtopic
Concept ? The idea of a passive house is to ? Maximise heat gain and minimise heat loss
A passive house will keep warm for a long period of time without having to consistently put on the heating.
Energy efficient house
