Definition and principles of passive design

Passive design in building construction focuses on creating energy-efficient and comfortable living spaces by leveraging natural resources and environmental conditions. Key principles include strategic orientation and layout to maximize solar gain and natural ventilation, as well as the use of insulation and thermal mass to regulate indoor temperatures.

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

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.
