-The Passive House Standard, being a quality standard, dictates no particular methods of construction. Whether solid construction, wood or composite - architects can design Passive House buildings according to their own preferences. Even manufacturers of prefabricated houses are offering Passive House designs. The versatile Passive House Standard is also increasingly being used in retrofits as well as for non-residential buildings such as schools, administrative buildings, manufacturing plants and hotels. As the Passive House concept is based on physical principles, each building can and should be adapted to its particular climate.\\
-With approx. 60,000 Passive House buildings in use worldwide (as of 2016), the Passive House Standard is rapidly spreading all over the world. As of today, Passive House buildings have been built in nearly all European countries ([[https://passivehouse-international.org/index.php?page_id=288|see map]]), the United States, Canada, and Japan – to mention but a few. And this number is on the rise! [[experiences|Read more about the dissemination of the Passive House concept...]]\\

+The Passive House Standard, being a **performance based quality standard**, dictates no particular methods of construction. Whether solid construction, timber or composite - architects can design Passive House buildings according to their own preferences. The versatile Passive House Standard is also increasingly being used in [[planning:refurbishment_with_passive_house_components|retrofits]] as well as for [[planning:non-residential_passive_house_buildings|non-residential buildings]] of various typologies, such as schools and kindergarten, administrative buildings, manufacturing plants, hotels, supermarkets and even indoor swimming pools. As the Passive House concept is based on physical principles and is a wholistic approach, each building can and should be adapted to its particular [[basics:passive_houses_in_different_climates|climate]] and the amenities that it offers.\\
