Of­fice and res­id­en­tial pass­ive house build­ing in Zhuozhou, China − fo­cus on mon­it­or­ing

As of today, not many Pass­ive House build­ings in China have been mon­itored. But the in­form­a­tion from meas­ure­ments is es­sen­tial to know what the build­ings be­ha­vi­or is in real­ity and if the users are happy with this new build­ing con­cep­tion and liv­ing ex­per­i­en­ce there. This art­icle out­lines the data and the ex­per­i­en­ce gained from ZhuoZhou of­fice build­ing.

The wood in­nov­a­tion re­search labor­at­ory at UN­BC, Prince George, BC, Canada

The Wood In­nov­a­tion Re­search Lab, cer­ti­fied Pass­ive House in 2018, is a small uni­versity labor­at­ory with an in­dus­tri­al work­shop with large equip­ment for de­vel­op­ing wood products, a small of­fice com­pon­ent, and one sem­in­ar room. It achieved ex­cep­tion­al air­tight­ness with a fi­nal test res­ult of 0.07 ac/h

Strategies for im­prov­ing en­ergy ef­fi­cien­cies in large in­sti­tu­tion­al kit­chens

The Uni­versity of Vic­tor­ia’s PH stu­dent res­id­en­ces is among the few pro­jects aim­ing to reach the stand­ard with a fully-equipped com­mer­cial kit­chen. The design ad­opts a wide range of meas­ures, de­tailed and as­sessed in PHPP, to re­duce the high-en­ergy in­tens­ity em­bed­ded in the kit­chen op­er­a­tion.

Shift­ing gears: A pass­ive house car deal­er­ship in the mak­ing

This pa­per ex­plores the chal­lenges and solu­tions of the world’s first Pass­ive House Car Deal­er­ship. Strict re­quire­ments, a tough cli­mate, and op­er­a­tion­al real­it­ies forced the design team to con­tinu­ally re-ev­al­u­ate pro­posed solu­tions. What res­ul­ted is an in­nov­at­ive build­ing that will serve as a beacon for Pass­ive House build­ings around the world.

Pass­ive house guidelines for in­door swim­ming pools

Based on in-use ex­per­i­en­ce of the first com­pleted Pass­ive House in­door swim­ming pool pro­jects and sup­ple­ment­ary re­search, the Pass­ive House In­sti­tu­te has re­leased a com­pre­hens­ive re­port and gen­er­al guidelines of re­com­men­ded ef­fi­ciency meas­ures for in­door pools. This con­tri­bu­tion sum­mar­ises the main find­ings.
