+ | The Passive House Standard excels due to its extremely high energy savings in comparison with ordinary new constructions. | ||
+ | For the user it is not easy to determine clearly the relevant specific values of the related products, especially with regard to their permanency. | ||
+ | * living health and comfort (“comfort criteria”) and | ||
+ | * energy balance during practical application (“energy criteria”). | ||
+ | It is the objective of the PHI to base the requirement standard on the physically or physiologically verifiable impartial requirements (e.g. maximum radiation temperature difference of 5 K between the half spaces, derived from ISO7730). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Where possible, climate-independent criteria have been formulated, but this is usually less understandable for the user, and this is why criteria have also been specified for defined climate zones. | ||
+ | |||
+ | All criteria can be expressed by using measurable quantities and tested by using established methods. | ||
+ | |||
+ | The specific values are defined so that they really are characteristic of the component behaviour in a built Passive House (e.g. for the balance boundary of ventilation systems in relation to the building envelope). | ||
+ | |||
+ | Each of the specific values refers to the relevant product only, any limit conditions regarding the integration into the object as a whole, that have to be complied with, should also be given; for example, the installation situation of the windows. | ||

+ | ===== Why should Passive House suitable products be certified? ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Passive House requires high quality components: super-insulating window frames, highly efficient ventilation units, thermal bridge free connection details, glazing that allows solar gains, compact heat pump units… | ||
+ | |||
+ | As an independent authority, the Passive House Institute tests and certifies products based on their suitability for use in Passive Houses. Products that carry the “Certified Passive House Components” certificate have been tested according to uniform criteria; they are comparable in terms of their specific values, and are of excellent quality regarding energy efficiency. Their use facilitates the designer’s task and significantly contributes to ensuring the faultless functioning of the resulting Passive House. \\ The following external link leads to the pages of the Passive House Institute where these criteria are explained in detail: | ||
