PASSIVE HOUSE - ZERO ENERGY HOUSE, USA

The Project is located in Los Angeles, CA using “German Passive House Technology”. This Passive House technology has been used successfully in hundreds of buildings over the past 10 years in Europe. The house will be one of the first prefab “Passive Houses” build in the United States. This established building technology enables to reduce the energy consumption by up to 90% while at the same time creating a comfortable home.

Small measures result in a drastic reduced demand for heating and cooling of the building. Passive Houses are cost-efficient; The energy efficiency improvement measures prove themselves profitable under contemporary conditions.
The slightly higher investment for the construction is paid-off within a very short time. This vastly improved efficiency of energy use can help to reduce the remaining energy demand so far that it is possible to meet this demand solely with renewable sources.
