What are the must-haves for a positive house?<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What is important in a positive house?<\/p>\n

What are the basics of a passive house<\/p>\n

May you don\u2019t know us yet, let\u2019s have a quick introduction: we are ERA architects.
\nActually, I am Esther Rovira, architect and passive house designer in Barcelona, Catalonia and Andorra for either passive houses, efficient houses and positive houses.
\nIn this post\u00a0\u20186 musts for a positive house\u2019<\/em>, You will find our professional recommendation.
\nI hope it helps you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here the 6 musts for a positive house (click on each item to get all the info!):<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
  1. Compact volume<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Insulation<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/li>\n
  3. NO thermal bridges<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Airtightness + ventilation<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/li>\n
  5. Special windows<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  6. Renewable energy\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Our professional recommendation:
    \n<\/strong>Ask your architect to prove how these item list is solved on your positive house design before you even start construction.
    \nWe’ve had so many clients coming from other architects with projects ‘supposed to be sustainable’<\/em> when it was too late.
    \nThey usually already have the permits and ready to start building, but of course they have to re-do the design to make it sustainable for real and then loosing 1 or 2 months on the way.<\/p>\n

    You may also be interested in:
    \n<\/strong>In our soon coming post ‘Installations on a positive house’.
    \nWe’ll learn which systems are better to generate hot water, ventilation and heating and cooling for a positive house.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Hope this post ‘6 musts for a positive house’<\/em> is helpful!<\/p>\n

    Best of luck on positive house adventure.
    \nSee you on the next post,<\/p>\n
