-To ensure good indoor air quality, one needs about 30 m³ of fresh air per hour. This supply air can only be heated up to 50°C to avoid the scorching of dust. The specific heat capacity of air is 0.33 Wh/(m³K) at normal pressure and a temperature of approx. 21°C (comfort, see ISO 7730). From this follows:\\+To ensure good indoor air quality, one person needs about 30 m³ of fresh air per hour. This supply air can only be heated up to 50°C to avoid the scorching of dust.

-Some critics came up stating "there can't be one size for every site". This statement is correct, it is already anticipated in the criterea: That is, why passive house is a functional standard rather than a descriptive one. Of course the criteria lead to different soluations in different climates: You will need more insulation in Stockholm than in Palermo and more shading the other way arround.But designers are absolutely free how to choose their solution meeting the PHPP-energy-balance. So, there are many different soluations in each climate; that is, why a functional standard has much more flexibility than a descriptive one.\\+Some critics came up stating "there can't be one size for every site".
