- Effortlessly Efficient: Benefits of Living in Passive House for a family of 5
Passive house building techniques are available to all kinds of houses and buildings. In this video, we'll show you how a family of 5 people lives in a passive house.
The house is located near Antwerp, Belgium, which is a rather cold climate.
A passive house is one of the world’s leading energy efficiency standards. It’s also a construction concept made to build comfortable, environmentally friendly homes and buildings.
Passive building is a standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable and ecological at the same time.
Passive house building is based on these principles:
1. No thermal bridging
2. Superior windows
3. Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery
4. Quality insulation
5. Airtight construction
The design and construction of a passive house is focused on making best use of the “passive” influences in a building - like sunshine, shading and ventilation.
Different from a regular building, a passive house re-uses the existing heat and doesn’t entirely rely on active heating and cooling systems such as air conditioning or central heating. There should be a very high level of insulation and airtightness, to make it possible for a passive home to use up to 90 percent less energy than a more traditional building which operates on fossile fuel or electrical heating.
Passive house buildings also offer superior comfort because of consistent temperatures and excellent air quality, since the air is refreshed all the time by mechanical ventilation systems. Also they have the added benefit of reducing noises because the insulation is so extensive.
A Passive House is more than just a low-energy building.
Similar energy savings have been demonstrated in warm climates where buildings require more energy for cooling than for heating.
Passive House buildings are also praised for their high level of comfort. They use energy sources inside the building such as the body heat from the residents or solar heat entering the building.
Windows with excellent insulation are fitted in wide and well insulated walls to keep the heat inside during the winter and to keep it cool during the summer.
When a passive house is closed air-tight, of course it needs a consistent supply of fresh air without causing any unpleasant draughts. For heating, usually there’s highly efficient heat recovery of the exhaust air so it can be re-used.
Just in case of excessive extreme temperatures, it’s always possible to make extra use of more traditional heating sources to heat or cool if needed.
Passive houses are based on these principles:
continuous insulation throughout the whole building shell while avoiding any thermal bridges via windows, walls or the roof
The building shell is extremely airtight, preventing infiltration of outside air and loss of interior conditioned air
They make use of high-performance windows to exploit the sun’s energy for heating purposes in the winter and to minimize overheating during the summer season
There will be some kind of balanced heat - and moisture recovery ventilation
The shape of the building is constructed in such a way that it keeps the heat within
Passive building principles can be applied to all building typologies - from single-family homes to multifamily apartment buildings, offices, and skyscrapers.
Continuous mechanical ventilation of fresh filtered air provides excellent indoor air quality.
Superb insulation and air-tight construction provide unmatched comfort. Even in extreme weather conditions.

wow, how beautiful!!
Amazing home! Passive design is defiantly becoming more and more popular!
It really is!
LOVELY
Great video. I feel relaxed now. I really like the overall design, and the design details.
Very well done. I also like that the family has lived in it for 8 years, so they have a lot of experience in the house. They didn't see any problems with it.
I had a drafty house, then insulated inside the walls, and added home-made window-film frames (3M film that you tape down, then get rid of the wrinkles with a hair dryer.).
That made my house the same temperature everywhere, so I could lower the temperature. After doing that and caulking all the cracks, my heat bill was reduced by 2/3.
If I could start from the beginning, I would like to do something like this, or maybe earthen walls.
that sounds awesome, the way you've insulated your house. Indeed, the next time I build, I'll consider far better the insulation and reduce the heating/cooling as much as possible
This incredible & yes, definitely inspiring!😁🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
Wow, keep up the good work 🙏❤️
With pleasure
I am so glad I found your channel. I am enjoying all your videos
I'm so glad! Comment like yours make it worthwhile, there's more to come 😃
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving you are welcome 😊
Passive Solar would be MY way to go... Beautiful job. Thank You !
FYI 'passive solar' is a completely different concept to this video (typically relying on thermal mass) this is 'Passive House' thermal mass in a passive house could potentially lead to overheating so it is not required
@@jasonclark222 well if I stand corrected, this type of house would be MY way to go!
Brilliant house I want to build one.
cool, succes with it!
Lovely home but he didn’t show more of the house like the bedrooms and bathrooms .
We are considering building a passive house in NL. We are in the process of looking for a suitable building plot. If you were to extend of offer, we would be delighted to visit your home in BE. Thanks
if the owner agrees :-)

I live in Karachi Pakistan I like your comments thanks
Where does the fresh air come from for the ventilation system?
if I'm not mistaken it comes a vent, but don't take my word for it
I couldn't quite catch what the internal walls were made from. Could you provide a few more details please. Was there a vapour permeable wrap on the external and, separately, on the internal walls?
Also, does the cellulose compact over time? How was the cellulose placed in the wall cavity? Blown in?
Thanks for the video. Beautiful house.
Hi Sparky, I wish I could answer your questions, but these are technical matters I'm not familiar with. Thanks for the compliment
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving He says it at 5:30 and again at 5:41, but his accent is so thick it's not decipherable. Sounds like "low finish," but obviously that is not a thing. Anybody have any ideas?
@@Thoracius a loam finish is what they used
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving So it's basically panels made from dirt? Interesting. I didn't know that existed.
@@Thoracius no not dirt panels. The walls are wooden structures and finished with loam. That's like plaster, but a natural product. Here you see how loam (or a mix of loam and clay) is applied to a wall ua-cam.com/video/bJ8l3Of3hyU/v-deo.html
Are there triple layer windows hurricane resistant?
I really can't tell for sure. This is an area almost without hurricanes, so not very likely. I'd inform with local companies..
Alluminum European style windows are practically rated for hurricanes.
Most windows you see in modern highrise are hurricane proof.

what’s the wall finish around 5:40?
walls are finished with loam
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving ah ok, thanks!
So the passive house has to be air tight, but it also requires fresh air to be pumped in?
indeed it needs an air circulation pump
yes it is airtight to stop uncontrolled air infiltration, fresh air is still supplied via a Mechanical heat recovery ventilation system which can recover a min of 75% of the outgoing heat which is how it is able to maintain comfortable temperatures inside with minimal or even no heating, heating is able to be provided simply by having an electrical resistance heater in the air supply duct, it can even be provided by a heated towel rail, depending how many people live in the home (more bodies = more heat generated) and its size determines how much heat you may need or not, this video doesn't mention the specifics of the ventilation system too much, but it is a requirement of certified passive houses.
All I caught from this is to insulate well and ventilate.
And this is how it works...
this sould be the standard in all countrys , i live in the uk and our government are bleating on about going net zero carbon by bla bla bla ! yet if you go to look at a new built house in england there are zero homes built to this standard on the market .
[ i will say the only place in the uk that promotes this type of home seems to be wales . as they do give eco home grants and will pass plans for sustainable desings
where i live i asked if i needed council permission to put solar pannels on my roof . my local council did not even know WTF i was talking about !!
you must be joking....???? This is so sad, I hope that ecological building will become mainstream worldwide
The average efficiency rating of a UK home is a D or E (on a scale from A most efficient to G least efficient) most homes have solid walls with no cavity,p let alone insulation! The average roof insulation is about 10cm! Forget heat pumps, our builders/plumbers/installers can't even get gas boilers done right! The average boiler is less than 80% efficient even if the boilers are 90% rated because the set up is all wrong, not balanced. Some of the poorest people in the UK have homes so inefficient that they would be impossible to heat with a heat pump. Some of the poorest renters are forced to use electric heating including for water that is literally up to 4 times more expensive than gas (some homes have no gas supply) or they have oil heaters which is just utter nonsense in this age. The new homes are better insulated, usually rated a B (in reality more like a C or D) but the quality is so bad (not as bad as US disposable homes but still bad by European standards) this is all a mess really, such a wasted opportunity. All Jones need to be upgraded to at least a B now. It would boost the economy and reduce it reliance of dirty Russian and Saudi fossil fuels for a start
you can call it "energy efficient" or "sustainable" but its active heat pump means its not passive home.. and key elements for a true passive home, such as "thermal mass" are part of this home too.....
Why not? Pretty sure that’s allowed in the spec . Maybe you are talking about net zero?
Pretty sure passive" does mean an :"active",: HAVC.. KISS...
@@nc3826 it's certainly better to use even less. why don't you show us where it says heat pump is not part of the passive home standard then?
"better"??? what does "better" have to do with the word "passive"?
HP is active ie its not passive... end of discussion... all the rest is BS...
so have fun down your rabbit hole being obtuse about it... bye Alice...
FWIW Trump would proud of you :)
@@nc3826 passive house is a standard. a home can be certified as passive. it's good that you want to be BETTER in energy saving but YOU don't set the standard
Imagine having newspaper ink in the insulation... thinking you went all biological, organic, and green.
That paper will off-gas forever.
indeed you have a point, but I imagine and hope bio ecological building materials don't contain toxic substances...
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving But that shredded paper likely do. Even if the manufacturing went through bleaching and removed the solvent from the ink, it still will contain some acid.
In the end it will not affect the health of the occupants of that home, since the off-gassing is likely minimal and going off toward the exterior in the summer days. If they do not sniff their walls they will be fine. ;)
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving WADR the OC was an anti=environmental trolling conspiracy theory with no basis in fact... that you should t not encourage IMHO....
While its not really a passive house, since it uses a heat pump... I admire what your trying to do... And good luck with your future efforts...
All depends what the ink is made from. It is no longer as toxic as in years past.
It’s totally fine. He has a air circulation system. Itprobably has way better air quality than most homes. He said he can’t smell his cooking remaining in his kitchen. So it’s highly unlikely that any such gases will cause problems. Also I doubt if these papers will cause problems unless they got wet
With the high efficiencies of mini splits, there's really no reason to build passive houses anymore.
Hi there, I'm not familiar with mini splits, what are they?
@@MindfulBuildingandLiving They are variable speed heat pumps that do cooling and heating. I'm sure they would work well with passive houses to fine tune your comfort.
Why no reason? Passive house is not only about low heat/cooling loads but low primary energy demand, high indoor air quality, temperature stability in blackouts. Also if you disregard passive house principles, you will need a larger heat pump which will consume more energy even if its efficient. A 1.5 ton dual stage heat pump will be more efficient than a 3 ton VRF unit.
