Abstract

When we refer to net-zero homes, we often think of homes that use so little energy that we can meet the demand by on-site renewable energy generation. There are many ways to achieve this, but the Passivhaus is one of the most well-known and tested methods. In this chapter, we explore what net-zero means, how we can achieve it with the Passivhaus Standard and what the future of net-zero looks like in different aspects of the home. Some examples are shown here to illustrate the concepts, but rather than being isolated solutions, we encourage you as an architect to apply them in unison. Net-zero is the future of the home, and Passivhaus is a tool to achieve it.
