-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.  **[[basics:passive_houses_in_different_climates:introduction|Read more]]**\\

 {{:picopen:map_ph_different_climates.png?800| **The principle remains the same - the details have to be adapted.**  This statement can be taken as the general rule governing the design of Passive Houses in all climates around the globe. This maps shows you, which places on earth - apart from Central-Europe with its cool-temperate climate - have already been investigated by the Passive House Institute with a focus on the construction of Passive Houses. }}
