Certified passive house: an effective control of radon in domestic construction
The international Certified Passive House Standard delivers high thermal comfort based on the principles of excellent building fabric and balanced mechanical heat recovery ventilation. Considering that the typical person in developed countries (such as Ireland and the United Kingdom) spends 90% of …

Taming Torridity New Housing Forms for Heat Resilience
… and building systems, a strategy captured by the Passive House standard. Passive House is not without its constraints, primarily in upfront capital costs, skilled labor availability, and more complex building details. Using two metrics, cooling energy demand and heat index, to model resilience in …
