Passive House School

This raised our desire to develop a new platform for education and consultancy services.

The Passive House School is where professionals in the building sector come to learn the skills they need to design and construct the buildings of the future and find assistance by professionals for their projects. The idea for the Passive House School was born in early 2017, after we noticed that there are many investors and specialists who do not have or have only a fragmentary idea of what the

Passive House Standard is and what its great benefits are, compared with other building standards around the world. Online learning makes the learning process faster while lowering costs and that’s why we developed online courses that provide the basic knowledge needed to design a Passive House or NZEB in a new, easily accessible and intriguing way. We can also assist you with PHPP and thermal bridge calculations and project consulting as we do with numerous Passive House projects nowadays.

Another Passive House certification completed ....and this one is a little special. 🏡⚡

Casa GHIȚA, located in Dumbrăveni, Romania, has officially achieved Passive House Premium certification, the highest class of the Passive House Standard!

And there are a few cool things about this project:
🧱 It was built using ICF (Insulated Concrete Forms) - the Izodom Romania system was used to create a highly insulated, airtight building envelope while keeping thermal bridges to a minimum.

🌬️ Fresh air is handled by an ATREA Ventilation heat recovery ventilation system, providing continuous ventilation while recovering heat that would otherwise be lost.

⚡ And the “Premium” part? The house is designed not only to use very little energy, but also to produce more renewable energy than it consumes.

Designed by architect Valer Deak, with Passive House consultation by Valentin Zaharia, and now officially certified by our team. 🙌

It’s always satisfying to see the final numbers work out after all the calculations, details, checks and inevitable PHPP spreadsheets. 😄

Congratulations to everyone involved!
Another one in the books. ✅

Last week, Svetlin and I attended the 28th International Passive House Conference in Essen - a special edition marking 30 years of the Passive House Institute and 35 years since the first Passivhaus was built by Wolfgang Feist. 🏅

✍ A few takeaways I’m bringing back:
- Inspiring to see the HUGE scale Passive House has reached globally - from "The House at Cornell Tech" and "Winthrop Center" to large-scale residential developments in Ireland.
- New milestones: Sendero Verde in the US now holds the record as the tallest Passive House building - 709 units.
- The University of Oxford is raising the bar with the largest Passivhaus scheme in England (25,000+ m²) and the first certified Passive House concert hall - the Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
- A good reminder: highly insulated buildings without proper ventilation (MVHR) can lead to lower occupant satisfaction than less insulated ones. If you do it — do it right.
- With Europe moving toward Zero Emission Buildings (ZEB), Passive House is proving to be a strong fit thanks to its extremely low operational energy demand.

👉 Great conversations, fresh perspectives, and plenty to think about moving forward.

We’ve completed the Passive House certification of a 189 m² single-family house in Cork, Ireland. 🇮🇪

The house is built with a timber structure, using cellulose insulation, an internal OSB layer, and wood fiber boards externally. A natural material palette but one that demands precision, especially when it comes to airtightness and moisture control.

What makes this project particularly interesting is how it’s heated:
👉 There is no traditional heating system.
Instead, the house is heated through the supply air of the MVHR system, via a compact unit.

Performance highlights:
• Heating demand: right at the Passive House limit (15 kWh/m²a)
• Airtightness: 0.5 ACH
• Overheating: only 1% of the year
• PER: just 42 kWh/m²a

📌 Projects like this are a good reminder:
Passive House is not about adding more systems .... it’s about reducing the need for them altogether.
