PASSIVE HOUSE INSTITUTE US
The Passive House standard is a design methodology that champions a super insulated, airtight home or building that uses 70-90% less energy for heating than a conventional new home or building. This high performance standard is achieved through maximized passive solar gains, reduced heating loads, efficient ventilation of fresh air, and significant size and cost reduction of the heating system, which in some cases can be eliminated altogether. The Passive House Institute US describes it as "the most rigorous building energy standard in the world." www.PassiveHouse.US
