• The Passivhaus Standard is a construction standard
developed by the Passiv Haus Institut in Germany (http://www.passiv.de).
The standard can be met using a variety of design strategies,
construction methods and technologies and is applicable to any
building type.
The first passive house was built in Darmstadt (Germany) in
1991 by Dr Wolfgang Feist - the founder of the renowned
Passiv Haus Institut.
Today, with over 12,000 passive houses built since then the
concept has become a resounding market success across Europe.

• The EU Parliament has proposed a binding requirement that all new buildings needing to be heated or cooled be constructed to a
‘ passive house’ or equivalent standard from 2011 onwards (reference European Parliament resolution of 31 January 2008 on an
Action Plan for Energy Efficiency: A6- 0003/2008).As the energy efficiency of new-buildings steadily improves, there may well be
increasing pressure to reduce the energy consumption of older buildings in order that they can compete for buyer’s attention on the
open market.

• Today in Ireland, the passive house concept is capturing the imagination of the Irish public with a few visionary entrepreneurs taking the lead in making it happen. German Passive Houses in conjunction with Dip.Eng. Jan Balkowski are at the forefront of a
movement that has brought about a fundamental rethink in the way we design, construct and operate buildings.
