Easi Guide to Passivhaus design

This guide by architects Levitt Bernstein, endorsed by The Passivhaus Trust, graphically sets out ten simple principles that form the foundations of good Passivhaus and zero carbon design.

It is based on work they undertake encouraging clients to use it to set their briefs and architects to use it when designing their buildings.

The main body of the guide emphasises key considerations at RIBA Stage 2 to allow design teams to meet Passivhaus within the contextual needs of their site, while a checklist offers the next steps if full Passivhaus certification is to be pursued.
