"There is no such thing as Passive House architecture – but there is a
lot of architecture with the Passive House standard."
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Feist of the Passive House Institute in Darmstadt
The Passive House standard is not an architectural concept. It is a precisely
defined method that allows for all types of buildings to be designed in
an energy-efficient and sustainable way using well established tools.
60 architects followed the call to take part in the Architecture Award 2010 with their certified Passive House projects. The Passive House Institute has received international contributions from Japan, China, USA, Poland, Switzerland, Hungary, Italy, Denmark, Austria and Germany.
