-  * Passive Houses allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared to average new builds. Passive Houses use less than 1.5 l of oil or 1.5 m<sup>3</sup> of gas to heat one square meter of living space for a year – substantially less than common “low-energy” buildings. Vast energy savings have been demonstrated in [[basics:passive_houses_in_different_climates:passive_houses_in_mediterranean_climate|warm climates]] where typical buildings also require active cooling.  +  * Passive House buildings allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared to average new builds.
