It is a certified Passive House that meets the following Passivhaus Institut standards for temperate-warm climate:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>heating demand &lt;15kWh\/m2a or load &lt;10W\/m2<\/li>\n<li>cooling demand &lt;17kWh\/m2a or load &lt;10W\/m2<\/li>\n<li>primary load in electricity of 60kWh\/m2a<\/li>\n<li>hermetic housing (no leaks) n50&lt;0.6<\/li>\n<li>air renewal 0.33Wh\/m3k<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Passive House Plus<\/strong><br \/>\nSecondly we can talk about Passive House Plus. It is a certified Passive House that meets the previous Passivhaus Institut standards for temperate-warm climates in addition to improving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>primary load in electricity of 45kWh\/m2a (electronic devices that consume less)<\/li>\n<li>generate renewable primary energy of 60kWh\/m2a (for example by adding photovoltaic panels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Premium Passive House<\/strong><br \/>\nThirdly we have the Premium one. It is a certified Passive House that meets the previous Passivhaus Institut standards for temperate-warm climates in addition to improving:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>primary load in electricity of 30kWh\/m2a (electronic devices that consume less)<\/li>\n<li>generate renewable primary energy of 120kWh\/m2a (for example by adding photovoltaic panels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>My professional recommendation:<\/strong><br \/>\nIn our Architecture studio in Barcelona we recommend at least certifying your Classic passive house.<br \/>\nIn this way you can easily certify the generation of renewable energy if in the future you dare to place photovoltaic panels or wind energy.<br \/>\nBeware that the Passive House Institut is changing the parameters to adapt comfort to global warming!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You may also be interested in:<\/strong><br \/>\nOur other post: Other<a href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/en\/comfort-criteria-for-home\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Comfort criteria for your home<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Hope this is helpful!<br \/>\nBest of luck on this adventure.<br \/>\nSee you on the next post,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/estherrovira\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Esther Rovira Raurell<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/estudio\/\">Architect in Barcelona<\/a>\u00a0#<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.arquitectes.cat\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">COAC 44234-8<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.passivhausplaner.eu\/index.php?lang=en-GB\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Passive House Designer<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Affiliated to the\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/passivehouse-international.org\/memberSearchDetails.php?member_id=9577\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Passive House Association<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Founder of\u00a0<a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/era.archi\/es\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ERA architects<\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>P.S.
