Manfred Huber | Field report: Nearlyzero energy multy-family building with load management
In a building with a well insulated envelope, much less heating energy is needed for space heating than for hot water. An outdoor air heat pump combined with a photovoltaic array and demand management allows a large part of the energy demand to be covered with power produced directly on the building.

Christoph Deimel | Contemporary design in Berlin: From Passive House to Plus energy buildings
Three projects designed by Deimel Oelschläger from 2006 to 2014 demonstrate the evolution to highly efficient Passive House buildings that produce more energy than they consume. The paper presents structural and technological developments and their impacts on buildings' energy demand.

Ralph Wortmann | Passive and zero-emission refurbishments
How can a post-war building be retrofitted for Passive House? Even in such retrofits, affordable, future-proof building concepts that are architecturally attractive can be constructed in compliance with the Passive House Standard to produce nearly zero-emission buildings.But it takes teamwork, and you have to want it.

Edit Varga | Evaluation of a Passive House settlement according to DGNB
criteria
Because of the complexity of the scoring system, the difference between the Passive House Standard and the KfW-70 standard are not reflected in the DGNB sustainability score. The benefits of the Passive House Standard are only clear if ecological parameters are also taken into account.

Christian von Ballmoos | Palazzo Positivo – refurbishment of a multy-family building
in Chiasso to plus energy level with BIPV
A multi-family dwelling originally built in 1965 was retrofitted to the Passive House Standard. Thanks to intelligent use of current materials and technical equipment, including using thin film PV panels as façade cladding, a Plus Energy Building could be constructed in an urban environment.
