Passivehaus certification is an internationally recognized high-performance building standard developed in Germany that focuses on the design, construction and operation of energy efficient buildings.Buildings designed and constructed to the Passivehaus standard use up to 90 per cent less space heating and energy consumption than conventional buildings—hence the term ‘passive’ as they need little active heating or cooling to stay comfortable throughout the year.
