-In Central European Climate there is a lot of practical experience on how to build Passive House buildings. But it would be a pitfall just to apply the Central European Passive House design, especially the details used for insulation, windows and ventilation and just copy these to a completely different situation because+There is extensive practical experience with constructing Passive House buildings. The Passive House and EnerPHit standards were first introduced in Germany and are most firmly established in Central Europe. However, it would be a significant misconception to simply adopt the identical building design internationally. Building traditions and construction methods vary widely across the world, as do climatic conditions. The essence of the Passive House method is its focus on **performance outcome**: delivering high thermal comfort and indoor air quality with minimal energy use for heating and cooling. To achieve this outcome, every Passive House newbuild or retrofit must be designed to the specific climate and contruction context of its location.\\
