Imagemap created with mh_omplan

Passive house technology has been used in the construction of the projects described. Several projects that are shown have not yet been certified by Passivhuscentrum pending the new Swedish specification of requirements that is being drawn up.

For new dwellings, during simulation the project must meet the proposed Swedish passive house standard.


There are no standard criteria for the refurbishment and new building of premises such as schools, preschools and offices, but projects should be carried out to a standard that includes the whole passive house construction concept regarding airtightness, insulation, requirements for constituent building elements and efficient heat recovery.
