Project Abstract
The first house certified to Passivhaus Standard was completed in Ireland in 2005. This research proposes to undertake an analysis of the data collected by a monitoring programme and through a combination of calculation and simulation techniques to obtain a better understanding of the actual performance of the Passivhaus Standard in a maritime climate, and to propose an optimised, cost effective technical solution for its application to the delivery of Irish housing.
