    The Passive House Standard is a construction standard developed in Germany that focuses on energy efficiency for buildings located between latitudes 40 and 60 degrees north. It requires optimized insulation, minimal thermal bridges, very low air leakage, utilization of passive solar gains, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, and maintaining good indoor air quality without traditional space heating or active cooling. Interest in passive houses has increased in Romania in recent years, with several pilot projects under construction testing different technologies and parameters, including a two-story family home with exterior insulation and a single-family wooden home using an modified platform frame construction.

    Definition of the Passive House Standard


    The Passive House Standard is a construction standard, developed by the Passivhaus
    Institute in Germany,15 especially with the area between northern hemisphere latitudes 40
    degrees (Madrid and Ankara) and 60 degrees (Oslo and Helsinki)16 in mind. The Standard can
    be met using a variety of design strategies, construction methods and technologies and is
    applicable to any building type.
    The Passive House Standard is a specific construction standard for buildings with good comfort
    conditions during winter and summer, without traditional space heating systems and without
    active cooling. Typically this includes optimized insulation levels with minimal thermal bridges,
    very low air-leakage through the building, utilization of passive solar energy and internal gains
    and good indoor air quality maintained by a mechanical ventilation system with highly efficient
    heat recovery.
    Every building style has advantages and disadvantages. There are many reasons which
    speak for a Passive House. Some of the main advantages can be found on almost every
    homepage or book related to Passive Houses.
    Pilot projects
    Interest in passive houses has increased in Romania. Several projects started in 2007.
    Two passive house projects under construction serve as pilots where different technologies and
    parameters are being tested. The presented passive house is a two storey family house. Building
    is a massive building with exterior insulation composite system as thermal insulation.
    The passive house is a wooden single family house. The loadbearing structural system is
    a modified platform with I beam wall structure and internal floor. Basic structural details of the
    system
    are already known in Europe. Both buildings have a trussed roof. The properties of these
    buildings are given in table
