Understanding Passivhaus by Emma Walshaw of First In Architecture is a brief, clear, and complete guide to Passivhaus homes. Fundamental principles for all aspects of the enclosure are elegantly introduced and illustrated before 8 common Passivhaus building assemblies are presented and showcased in case studies.
Although of greatest utility for Passivhaus designers and builders, Understanding Passivhaus is an accessible introduction for homebuyers, developers, product designers, students, policy makers, and anyone interested in understanding both Passivhaus essentials and the most common approaches.
