Discover the magic of 'Passive Housing' – where energy efficiency meets comfort, affordability, and eco-friendliness! 🌿✨ Despite its advanced construction concept, passive homes and buildings blend seamlessly into any neighborhood. By implementing smart techniques, the need for excessive heating or cooling is nearly eliminated. Embrace the future of sustainable living with passive housing! The passive home prioritizes these 5 principles: No loss insulation Thermal bridge free Excellent windows, glazing, orientation Air tight Air recovery ventilation system By applying these 5 principles the heating/cooling is 90% improved on new buildings and 85% improved on existing buildings. Situating your home to be aligned with the sun (when possible) to take advantage of the suns warming and cooling aspects during the day will increase the passivity by 20%. That, coupled with a natural ventilation solution, often means you may never have to use power at all when adjusting for indoor air quality and comfort. https://lnkd.in/e5fmAyus Passive House Accelerator The Passive House Network Chicago Women in Trades @Passive House Alliance Chicago Professional Women in Construction Chicago Chapter @Real Estate Chicago @Chicago Real Estate Buyers #PassiveHousing #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableLiving"
