The ultimate guide to passive home design

Welcome to "The Ultimate Guide to Passive Home Design"! In this comprehensive video, we dive deep into the fascinating world of passive home design strategies, exploring everything you need to know to create an energy-efficient and sustainable living space.
Join us as we unravel the principles behind passive home design, uncovering the secrets to maximizing comfort while minimizing energy consumption. Discover innovative techniques for insulation, ventilation, and thermal mass utilization, ensuring optimal temperature regulation throughout the year.
We delve into the importance of orientation and solar gain, demonstrating how intelligent positioning and efficient glazing can harness the power of natural light and heat. From selecting high-performance windows to implementing shading devices, we provide practical tips for optimizing energy efficiency.

The music is very irritating to me. Why do you need it? Otherwise a good video

[@Dark-Light_Ascendin]

Yes

😁

[@mikejury3632]

While this is a good video, I don't think it goes far enough. For example, all houses have insulation, but a passive home will have insulation that is 30 cm thick. This point alone makes passive houses stand out among others.

[@sleddy01]

the thickness of the insulation is what defines a passive house? that's hardly a design feature.

[@AG-bh3tl]

stop before you watch lower the volume as far as you can or turn on closed captioning so the music doesn't give you headache

[@aiswariyarajan-a4120]

very useful thank you looking up for more interesting contents

[@UndercoverArchitect]

You explained passive house really well! Thanks for that!

[@boxerfencer]

Loved the music!!!

[@DanielDuedu]

Passive homes require mechanical ventilation to ensure optimal air quality.

[@intasarbatool5522]

please remove the annoying music

Regarding the shown atrium, The water is thermal mass

[@anvarahemadmansuri2414]

I am trying to develop a home from scartch, and would like to hire a consultant to help integrate such features during the early design itself. Can someone help me connect with an expert?

[@dang3343]

These are basic design principles that are over 3,000 years old. Check your architectural history - these are very old principles we need to use today.

[@fluiddynamics389]

yeah the assertion that this is a new science. like we're just relearning what our ancestors already knew

[@thomasschafer7268]

Ein sehr innovatives Video mit vielen Fakten. 👍👍🇩🇪

[@desertvoyeur]

Air tightness is a pulmonary health disaster! I suggest investigating air filters plus heat / humidity exchangers to permit free exchange between inner and outer air. And, yes, more solar heated thermal mass.

[@jemmyhao]

How condensation is avoided ? By completely sealed ?

[@animobarreiro]

Using mechanical ventilation

[@tealkerberus748]

You need a dehumidifier to manage condensation. Humans make enormous amounts of humidity. Also most places that humans want to live routinely have outdoor humidity higher than the 50%RH that is the threshold for dust mites to breed. So indoor air or outdoor air is going to be a problem as soon as you put it in a structure with temperature differentials such as a shaded floor that is cooler than the air. The only way to fix it is a dehumidifier.

[@manafraied9725]

I need an architectural engineer to communicate with me to work in this way

[@sleddy01]

I hate when half of the video is explaining why I might want to watch the video. I'm already watching it.

[@nelsonminator]

What about a pasive home in a tropical envirioment!?

[@moehunter]

Almost cannot hear whats being said due to the loud distracting background sound that phases in & out. What a terrible video due to the nasty sound. . .

[@peteroffpist1621]

Solar planes as shades is the smarter way to make a low electric bill. Pls redesign your information.

[@atbp828]

Thank you.

[@sarcasmunlimited1570]

Maybe it's passive aggressive?

[@Mark-gg6iy]

Consider limited or no windows by combining a monitor for camera output thus increasing thermal insulation and security (and cost).

[@MrLatindancer]

WHY O WHY DO YOU NEED THAT ANNOYING 'MUSIC' MASKING THE COMMENTARY?

[@tealkerberus748]

Can't listen to the noise, can't concentrate on just the cc. Please try again, I can't watch this.

[@wilkuuu4016]

author never heard about recuperation.

[@iceburglettuce6940]

Awful background music, very hard to listen to. Gave up.

[@joelleholmes1708]

Me too !

[@Jchathe]

The awful music is irritating, unnecessary and also excludes those with hearing difficulties or impairment. Badly done, people, badly done.

[@monokheros5373]

when your BACKGROUND MUSIC is louder then the voice over ... why the heck should i watch the video?"

[@JeffMilesbizdoctor]

tHE MUSIC IS TERRIBLE.

[@nullenergy]

ok, everything nice, logical an so on. But main question, whats next? There is no support (subsidies), all energy efficiency and fight against strange climate fight, based on taxes and obligations for citizens. Only UN climate change forum, spent ,millions for thus talking. Hmmmmm

[@etherdog]

AI video

[@kadin06]

Terrible

[@gK-ih2ct]

Loose the annoying animated guy. Distracts from information

[@Gotdam]

do you want to save 50 bucks a month at the expense of living in a sterile, charmless shipping container? If so, passive homes are for you

[@AB-yt4hd]

I have a nearly "passive" home since 10 years and it is not charmless or sterile, quite the opposite. Also, it is very confortable compared to my colleagues shit homes. It has huge triple glazed windows on the south which let enter the light during winter (and a big overhang to protect from the sun during summer), this is very nice. The walls are nearly 40cm thick, which reduce the noises from the outside.

F your 👹"carbon footprint" !!!
