Construct Your Highly-Energy-Efficient Home with Hollyhock
A passive house is a type of ultra-low energy building that utilizes a combination of insulation, airtightness, and heat recovery systems to reduce its energy consumption significantly.
The goal is to create an environmentally friendly and comfortable living space that requires minimal heating or cooling.
Fundamental elements of passive house design include:
- Superinsulation: Thick insulation prevents heat loss and keeps the interior temperature consistent.
- Airtight construction: Airtight materials and proper ventilation systems ensure that the home stays draft-free and maintains a consistent temperature.
- Passive solar design: The home is designed to take advantage of natural light and heat from the sun, reducing the need for artificial lighting or heating.
- Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR): A ventilation system that removes stale air from the home and replaces it with fresh outdoor air while also recovering heat from the outgoing air to warm the incoming air.
ICF's Role in
Passive House Construction
Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) are essential in constructing passive houses, ensuring tight seals and energy savings. These systems are vital for top-notch thermal efficiency, lower energy usage, and increased building comfort in meeting strict energy standards.
Advantages of Selecting Passive House Design for Homeowners
Passive house design provides numerous advantages to homeowners, such as:
Sustainability
Passive Houses maintain excellent indoor air quality due to their tight construction and MVHR system, lowering the chances of allergies, asthma, and respiratory issues.
Outstanding energy efficiency
Passive Houses use as little as 10% of the energy needed for heating and cooling compared to traditional residences. As a result, substantial savings can be achieved on energy expenses.
Healthier living environment
Enhanced indoor comfort
Passive Houses are crafted to uphold a pleasant indoor climate year-round without the need for active heating or cooling systems. This ensures optimal comfort within your living space, regardless of extreme temperatures.
