Today, an increasing number of manufacturers offer such compact ventilation units. These units are highly efficient, as proven by scientifically evaluated measurements in Passive House housing developments.\\ | Today, an increasing number of manufacturers offer such compact ventilation units.

Of course, not only Passive Houses can be heated using biomass. However, the available potential of sustainably-produced fuel is limited. In case of poor efficiency, only a fraction of the buildings in Europe (and also worldwide) can be sustainably supplied with biomass. However, if the level of efficiency is high enough, as it is in the Passive House for example, then the amount of fuel provided by sustainable agriculture and forestry is sufficient to cover a considerable share of the energy demand. | Of course, not only Passive Houses can be heated using biomass.
