-**Certification of Passive House office buildings** - Passive House office buildings are certified by the Passive House Institute (PHI) based on a standard occupancy level and corresponding internal gains of 3.5 W/m² (the reference area being the “treated floor area” of the PHPP, not the office area). From the PHI’s experience this value represents a typical average, taking into account an improved efficiency of the equipment used. The reasons why the PHI uses standard values for certification are partly to be able to ensure consistency and also because the use of a building is often not permanent and not always prior known. [[certification:certified_passive_houses:certification_of_passive_house_offices|Read more]] \\+Passive House office building certification is based on a standard occupancy level and corresponding internal gains of 3.5 W/m² (the reference area being the “treated floor area” of the PHPP, not the office area).

 Conventional hospitals are among the buildings with very high energy consumption values and incur special demands for the comfort of patients which must be met in a reliable way. The application of the Passive House concept appears extremely interesting in this context. A common misunderstanding is the assumption that energy efficiency efforts are only concerned with the minimisation of the heating demand. The basic idea however is to achieve a significant reduction in the demand for all energy-relevant applications in a building while maintaining the same level of comfort. Conventional hospitals are among the buildings with very high energy consumption values and incur special demands for the comfort of patients which must be met in a reliable way.

 +Commercial kitchens are one of the most energy-intensive areas of buildings. In addition to cooking, dishes are washed and food is kept cool, all of which require a lot of energy; in addition, each of these processes creates a lot of internal heat and moisture, which has to be drawn out of the kitchen with sufficiently dimensioned ventilation systems due to which a large part of the energy used in commercial kitchens is devoted to ventilation.

 +===== Passive House retail / supermarkets =====
 +
 +There are several examples of retail buildings to the Passive House standard. The most popular retail typology are supermarkets, which are absolutely essential to the modern food supply chain and a widespread building type. They are also very energy-intensive buildings with great potential for optimization. By now, the Passive House Institute has gathered over ten years of experience with these buildings, both as new constructions and as retrofits. Several examples can be found in the [[https://passivehouse-database.org|project database]] (advanced search for category "supermarket").

 +Watch the [[:webinars:supermarketinaustria|iPHA Project Spotlight recording]] to learn more about the theoretical concepts of applying Passive House to supermarkets and how these have been implementd in real-life examples across Austria.

-Passive House laboratories are a very specific form of non-residential building. Moreover, the term describes a very heterogeneous mixture of usages, ranging from light-duty, slightly extended office use to heavily ventilated buildings with very strong internal heat sources and hazardous substances in the extracted air.+The achievable level of energy efficiency of buildings is mainly determined by the building design and selection of the quality of building components during the planning and execution phases. Consumption later on is also influenced by actual building use. In non-residential buildings, control parameters have an influence to a relevant degree (e.g. operating times, supply temperatures, air flow/balancing of ventilation systems). Building automation offers an opportunity to optimise operation in terms of energy. However, appropriate control variables and strategies for typical non-residential Passive House buildings may differ from conventional approaches.
  
-Read more about [[planning:non-residential_passive_house_buildings:laboratories| Passive House Laboratories]]+Identifying malfunctions as well as unsuitable operating parameters based on observations is the task of technical monitoring, which is recommended for systematic commissioning and optimising operations.
  
 +Last but not least, the perspective of the users should always be considered right from the planning stage, which explicitly includes the technical operations personnel.
