    I’m building a passive house in Canada, it’s always difficult to explain it to the folks who live in our cold climate and are not familiar with the passive house concept that there’s no “heating “ or “air conditioning” in the house. This hopefully makes it easier! Thank you for posting it.
    P.S: German Technology IS the best!

      History
      Bo Adamson, co-originator of the passive house concept.
      Wolfgang Feist, co-originator of the passive house concept, and founder of the 'Passivhaus Institut'
      The Passivhaus standard originated from a conversation in May 1988 between Bo Adamson of Lund University, Sweden, and Wolfgang Feist of the Institut für Wohnen und Umwelt (Institute for Housing and the Environment, Darmstadt, Germany).[11] Later, their concept was further developed through a number of research projects,[12] aided by financial assistance from the German state of Hessen.
      Much of the early 'Passive Houses' were based on research and the experience of North American builders during the 1970s,[13] who - in response to the oil embargo - sought to build homes that used very little or no energy. These designs often utilized the sun as a heat source and the term 'passive house' was possibly derived from the passive solar features of these houses, such as the Saskatchewan Conservation House and the Leger House in Pepperell, Massachusetts. An early book explaining the concepts was The Passive Solar Energy Book by Edward Mazria in 1979.[14]

    We are moving into our passive house in Kingston Ontario next month and I couldn't be more excited. It looks and performs spectacularly!! We achieved a .57 ACH blower door test and it is so cozy inside even in a Canadian winter. I use this video to explain to my friends exactly what it is as they often hear about net zero but not much about passive. Passive makes net zero a lot easier to accomplish.

      It's very tricky to talk about most of anything within 90 seconds. I guess I'm a bit biased living in cooling dominated climate, but all strategies are still applied, just as they regard to keeping the heat out of the house/building.

    • @crazyliv
      @crazyliv 2 роки тому +1

      Not an expert but I know people with passive houses in hot climates like Texas and Australia. The idea is during the night all windows and doors are open to ventilate fresh air into the house. In the morning once the temp gets to a certain amount, everything closes and the way the house is built, it traps that chilly air inside. You can also have fans in the house. Passive house doesn't mean 0 energy usage, just as little as possible. You use the solar panels for running the fans if needed.

    One further step that could be taken in an urban setting is to provide these houses with Solar panels for electricity and Solar thermal for central heating and water heating. Interconnecting neighbouring buildings to set up a peer-to-peer system where they are able to exchange and redistribute power where necessary. Ideally they would produce a surplus of energy which then could be fed into a big grid where the transport sector could be supported.

  • @stephent6945
    @stephent6945 4 роки тому +6

    This is a really great video and I've shown it to a lot of people!
    I do have a criticism which is that a Certified Passive House in a cool/cold climate will most probably require some heating to remain above the Certification temperature threshold of 20 degrees Celcius in the middle of winter. However it will not need a full central heating system as would be required in other "typical" buildings in that climate. The permissible heating load for a Certified Passive House in ANY climate zone is 10W/m2 of the Treated Floor Area - this is not Zero W/m2!
    Conversely in a warm/hot climate there is likely to be a requirement for cooling so that there is not too much overheating, but again, only a small percentage of the cooling that would normally be required in a typical building in a warm/hot climate.

    I think that umbrella (insulating) concept is more important in Canada and Scandinavia than in most of the Continental USA, with mean temperatures around 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Much of Arizona and Colorado are ideal for relatively inexpensive passive homes, with a big advantage in available solar than most other places. In AZ and CO, the controlling minimum is water.

    Of course in a cooling climate, that TV, et cetera, hurts you in the summer. One discussion happening right now is how to treat photovoltaic electric generation within the Passive House methodology.

    • @PinwheelHomes
      @PinwheelHomes 5 років тому

      Yes, conversations will always keep going, and we will get better at it. In PHPP, the heating caused by internal sources, is taken into consideration and would be offset by the proper amount of cooling and shading. As for photovoltaics, I'd keep that separate. Build a proper Passive House and then use the power generation to make it Net Zero (or even off grid), that's the simplest way to look at it. (BTW, I once calculated that each kW created by Photovoltaics is currently still 10x more expensive than each kW saved by the building technique of a passive house).

    Now, let's make it from simple local materials such as trees, mud, and agricultural waste. Let's also make it super cheap so everyone can get it. And let's make a universal modular design that can conveniently fit the users needs, and you can easily build it yourself. Oh and it harvests its own rainwater. And grows food. Using the wastewater. And it produces, stores and sells electricity to the micro-grid. And you can stack'em into urban units.

    Wouldn't digging a pit (in your basement or other area) to tap the natural 60 or so degree heat 10 feet down (whatever the distance to get beneath the frost layer) be more economical? In the cold the heat transfer would leave you house at 60 degrees no matter what the temperature outside and its cheaper to heat from 60 to 70 than from 0 to 70. in the summer your house would be a natural 6o which would be perhaps a bit chilly when its sweltering out. Am I missing something? Maybe the two systems can be combined.

  • @DeksZagreb
    @DeksZagreb 6 років тому +2

    Great video. Would you know if there is a comparison for heat loss of one single triple layer glass window compared to two double glass layer windows separated 30 centimeters apart? Old houses in Germany, Austria, Slovenia and Croatia had such double windows, separated some 20 cm to 30 cm apart, providing very good heat retention.

    • @PinwheelHomes
      @PinwheelHomes 6 років тому +1

      DeksZagreb I’m not sure if I understand your question correctly. A single insulated glasing unit with three layers of glass with krypton inbetween can have a u-value as low as 0.5. An insulated glasing unit with two panels of Glas can go as low as 1.1 (from memory, maybe even lower). If you put two in “series”, you should be able to calculate it just like adding different layers in a wall together (keep the air films in mind; it’s also the same way you add resistors together). BTW, many passive houses use this strategy for their glasing, especially older renovations/Restauration in Europe where they want to keep the style and look, and possibly even the old frames.

    • @DeksZagreb
      @DeksZagreb 6 років тому

      I meant double windows like the following:
      www.stolarija-roncevic.hr/images/galerije/stolarija/2/prozor-drveni-dupli.jpg
      How could we calculate the heat loss of such double windows with dual pane glass compared to a single window with triple pane glass? In one house I have the double windows at 20 cm apart while in the other I have these double windows at 30 cm apart, both walls are 60cm thick. Both houses are more than 100 years old, I renovated them a couple years ago.
      I would like to build a new passive house so I am trying to determine the heat loss compared to windows cost. Hence it would help if I could calculate whether a single window with triple pane glass would be more cost efficient than a double window with dual pane glass, compared to heat loss per year.

    • @PinwheelHomes
      @PinwheelHomes 6 років тому +1

      DeksZagreb okay. The answer I gave above does apply then. Maybe you just need to find a building physicist or an energy consultant to ask.

    • @DeksZagreb
      @DeksZagreb 6 років тому

      I thought there might be a rule of thumb to calculate the heat loss through the window panes... As a wild guess, the triple pane argon/kripton single window should have more losses than the double window dual pane glass with 20 cm of air tight space inbetween.

    • @PinwheelHomes
      @PinwheelHomes 6 років тому +1

      DeksZagreb the formula for adding two resistors in series (just like the heat resistance of the two double panes together) is 1/R=(1/R)+(1/R). At a resistance of Ug=1.1 per each is 0.55 added together. I’m not sure what the 200mm air layer and the convective air movement would do to this, but that’s probably a pretty good start.

    Nice explanation, I wished it was that easy and true. Because it is not. I live in South Florida and without A/C you get baked in your house, passive or not. All the insulation and those super windows (which are really nice and very good) are also very, very expensive. Maybe more than using the A/C...It may work in colder climate, or maybe in San Diego where you don't have hot summers nor cold winters, but not in Chicago or West Palm Beach.

    • @PinwheelHomes
      @PinwheelHomes 5 років тому +4

      It does work, and you may not even need triple pane windows in Florida. What you do need is proper thermal protection in your walls, which prevents heat from reaching the inside, and correct shading. A good passive house designer should see if the house is overheating in PHPP before anything is built. Also, A/C is not "forbidden" the same way that heating is not forbidden, it just needs to stay within a specific amount of energy consumption.

    • @crazyliv
