Passive House Architects From Lynchburg to Charlottesville

CTG worked with the team from Ireland's first Passive House. Please see power point presentation, click here.

Passive House buildings comprise from a set of design principles used to attain a rigorous level of "energy efficiency" within a specific comfort level. “Maximize your gain of energy, minimize your losses to the exterior climate” A passive building is designed by our Passive House Architect based on the climatic data of the region and built in accordance with these five building-science principles.

• It employs continuous insulation through its entire envelope without any thermal bridging.
• The building envelope is extremely airtight, preventing infiltration of outside air and loss of conditioned air.
• It employs high-performance windows (typically triple-pane glass and doors) supplied by our manufacturer.
• It uses some form of balanced heat- and moisture-recovery ventilation system and uses a minimal space conditioning system.
• Solar gain is managed to exploit the sun's energy for heating purposes + hot water and to minimize it in cooling seasons.

Passive building principles can be applied to all building types, from a single-family home to apartment buildings to offices and skyscrapers.

Passive design strategy carefully models and balances a comprehensive set of factors including heat emissions from appliances and occupants--to keep the building at comfortable and consistent indoor temperatures throughout the heating and cooling seasons. As a result, passive buildings offer tremendous long-term benefits to well being in addition to energy efficiency.

• Super-insulation and airtight construction provides unmatched comfort even in extreme conditions.
• Continuous mechanical ventilation of fresh filtered air assures superb air quality.
• Passive House systems approach to modeling, design and construction produces extremely resilient buildings.
• Passive building is the best path to Net Zero and Net Positive buildings because it minimizes the load that renewable's are required to provide.
