Passive Building Principles
Thermal Control: Continuous insulation to avoid thermal bridging
Radiation Control: Right balance between heat loss and heat gain (shading / solar control)
Airtight Construction: Creates a controlled environment that supports balanced ventilation and heat recovery (these go hand-in-hand)
Result of the Previous Four: Minimized, efficient mechanical systems
