passive house

Every time something in your home consumes energy, a little bit of heat is released. With a passive home, everything is designed to collect that radiant heat and re-purpose it for keeping the home warm. These homes use a nearly airtight environment, air filtration that is designed to collect heat while it vents and recycles air, and smart placement of selectively shaded windows to create an environment inside the home that is always comfortable without using more than a tiny fraction of the usual electricity. As a side benefit, passive homes have some of the best air quality available in housing today.
