Net-Zero and Passive House... What's the difference?

        Passive House:

  • Focus on achieving the least amount of energy required to heat/cool a home by using "passive" strategies: Additional insulation, air-tightness, home design/aspect to take advantage of solar gain, eliminating thermal bridging.
  • Aim is to REDUCE the need for energy at the design/build phase without the use of on-site renewables like solar panels.

    Net Zero House:

  • Designed to generate as much energy as it uses on an annual basis. Net Zero uses many Passive House principals, however, will use on-site renewables like solar panels which can be connected to local electric grids.
