It highlights the performance gap in buildings, where energy use exceeds predicted values, posing a risk to homeowners, developers, and the government. Passivhaus Standard homes show promise in mitigating the performance gap, with measured energy performance closely aligning with predicted thermal performance. Overheating is also a concern in highly insulated and airtight homes, necessitating further research and systematic evaluation of energy use and overheating risks in Passivhaus homes.|2017|**[[https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/|Passivhaus Trust (PHT), UK]]** |
