 The heat requirement of a building is mathematically determined – the actual consumption depends on many other influences, e.g. user behaviour and the weather. Years of experience have provided statistically reliable measurements of actual consumption values. The reliability of the Passive House concept can be judged from these results. \\ The heat requirement of a building is mathematically determined – the actual consumption depends on many other influences, e.g. user behaviour and the weather.

 A key issue that often arises with reference to realised innovative and energy efficient buildings is whether the planned low energy demand is actually achieved in a measurable way. This question has nothing to do with significantly more extensive scientific analyses. The aim is to determine the total consumption of a building using simple means and with as little effort as possible, and to be able to differentiate between the areas for heating, hot water and electricity use as far as possible.
