Short Answer #
Passive House ventilation systems continuously supply fresh air while recovering heat from outgoing air, maintaining comfort and efficiency.
Overview #
Ventilation is essential in airtight homes. Passive House systems ensure air quality without sacrificing energy performance.
Key Points #
- Stale air is extracted from wet areas.
- Fresh air is brought into living spaces.
- Heat is transferred between the two air streams.
- This provides fresh air at all times, reduces heat loss, lowers humidity, and improves comfort.
- Without proper ventilation, moisture builds up, air quality drops, and comfort is reduced.
