Passive houses

Construction of passive houses

If you are planning to build a house, then passive houses are certainly worth considering! They are one of the most innovative and ecological trends in modern construction. Their goal is to create a living space that consumes a minimum amount of energy, maximizing the comfort of use and contributing to the protection of the environment. Thanks to the use of advanced technologies and precise design solutions, passive houses significantly reduce operating costs, as well as focus on ecological and healthy living conditions!

TADEKS FERTIG HAUS – is a certified contractor and ambassador of passive construction. We have received certification from the Günter Schlagowski Polish Institute for Passive House and Renewable Energy. We would like to unequivocally declare that we have been implementing our buildings according to the highest standards developed by the Passivhaus Institut Darmstadt since 1995.

What are passive houses and what technologies are used in them?

A passive house is a building with extremely low energy requirements for heating and cooling. According to international standards, the annual energy consumption for heating in such a house should not exceed 15 kWh/m², and the total primary energy consumption, including heating, hot water and electricity, should be less than 120 kWh/m². The most important goal of passive houses is to minimize heat loss while making the most of natural energy sources, such as the sun. Importantly, according to the assurances of the European Union, all houses built from 2028 in Europe will have to be zero-emission.

In order to create a passive house, the technological solutions used in it are important. These include:

  • Advanced thermal insulation – walls, roof and foundations are insulated with materials with a low heat transfer coefficient.
  • Mechanical ventilation with recuperation – the heat recovery system allows for minimizing energy losses.
  • Windows with high energy efficiency – southern glazing is optimized for obtaining solar heat, and in other zones windows with a very low heat transfer coefficient are used.
  • Designs that take into account orientation towards the cardinal directions – the arrangement of rooms and windows allows you to maximize natural sunlight.
  • Renewable energy sources – photovoltaic panels, heat pumps or solar collectors are a standard solution in such buildings.

Advantages of building modern passive houses

It is no secret that passive house designs are very restrictive so that they can fulfill their role. However, these principles translate into significant benefits, which include:

  • Extreme energy efficiency – operating costs, especially those related to heating, are up to 8 times lower compared to traditional buildings.
  • Thermal comfort all year round – thanks to effective insulation and ventilation, these houses maintain a constant temperature and humidity, regardless of external conditions.
  • Environmental impact – minimal energy consumption and the use of renewable sources reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The value of the investment – although the construction costs are higher, the long-term savings and increased value of the property compensate for the initial expenses.
  • Subsidies – more and more support programs allow you to reduce construction costs.

Price of passive houses

Passive houses are often accused of being much more expensive than ordinary energy-efficient houses, as well as traditional houses, i.e. usually poorly insulated. It is true that the cost of building a passive house is about 20-30% higher compared to conventional construction. The additional costs are mainly due to insulation materials, advanced technologies (e.g. recuperation) and specialized design.

However, despite the higher price of the investment, the savings on operating costs (up to 90% in the case of heating) make the investment pay off in the long run. In addition, passive house owners are less exposed to the volatility of energy prices, which makes their financial situation more stable.
