Certified Passive House in Spain
| Here you can download a detailed description of the first Passive House certified in Catalunya:
It may come as a surprise that Passive Houses are also possible in a Mediterranean climate: Here is the first experience from Catalunya, where carpenter Albert Fargas (FARHAUS) achieved a pure cube of timber, with very high thermal comfort in summer and in winter. Payback time of the additional cost of construction is estimated to be less than 10 years. |
Energiehaus performed the Passive House design for this project. The Blower Door test was passed with a result of 0.6@50PA. The occpuant is very satisfied with his home. We are now ready for more Passive House buildings in hot climates.
