| Adaptation of Passive Houses to Mediterranean Climate Passive Houses are spreadimg across the Alps towards Southern Europe numerous projects have already been successfully built in Southern Tyrol. The more the climate is different from central European conditions, the more building services and elements of Passive Houses need to adapt to the changed circumstances. The Passive House is a functional and integral concept, where not fixed U-values of windows and building elements are required but thermal comfort in summer and in winter times with little energy consumption. Naturally, in the Mediterranean region summer cooling is more in the foreground. Passive-On, a project of the European Union, is explicitly concerned with the application of Passive House principles in Southern Europe. It is also helping to carry out the 10th conference on Passive Houses. First results of the project Passive-On will be presented at this conference in Hanover in May 2006.
Passive House in Bolzano, Italy, architect Michael Tribus This subject is part of dealing with special conditions of the mediterranean climate and concepts for energy saving construction under those conditions, evaluation of already realised model projects and analysis of available measurements concerning the construction of Passive Houses.
