ISOVER Passivhaus Engl.

The Possibilities.
Whether new or historic.
Energy savings up to 90 % compared to conventional design make sense.
It is quite hard to find an argument against the passive house concept. After
all, our whole climate is by now suffering from the impact of an increasingly
high demand for energy. Bad air, climate change and scarcity of natural
resources concern each and every one of us. In view of these developments,
the comparatively little extra cost incurred for executing the passive house
standard is not a valid counter-argument. You can rightfully speak of a
"win-win situation" for all parties involved. The investors profit from excellent
building quality and long-term increase in value, the residents from
high living comfort and low operation and maintenance costs.
A good image – in the private and public sphere.
Buildings that incorporate passive
house technology are more than just
pleasant to live in. They are also
good places for working, learning
and making money. This is because
the increased comfort generated by
good air, constant temperature control
and less noise contributes to our
well-being and promotes our ability
to perform. The occupants are

healthier, more focused and more
productive. It doesn't come as a surprise
that even a growing number of
public institutions, authorities and
companies build on the passive
house standard – not least for material
considerations: every new rise in
energy prices increases the value of
the building. Going easy on the
building fabric by implementing the
passive house standard assures a
longer useful life and less repair
work. Thanks to very low operating
costs, passive houses are easier to
rent out. And earn a high resale
value.
Fresh air – always sufficient. Even in
crowded classrooms. Thanks to a
constant supply of fresh air via the
comfort ventilation system.

In buildings with poor thermal insulation,
walls and windows are relatively cold.
More often than not, this results in
condensate, mould and structural damage.
Extreme situations take
only little effect.
