The case study on the Passive House Database details a residential project in Ireland that showcases the design and construction of a Passive House built to the highest standards of energy efficiency. The house is designed to be almost entirely self-sufficient in energy, with a well-insulated, airtight building envelope, optimized for passive solar gain, and equipped with high-performance windows.

A mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR) ensures consistent indoor air quality while minimizing energy losses. The project achieves remarkable energy savings, with its primary energy demand and heating demand well below the typical levels for conventional buildings. This case highlights the successful integration of advanced passive house principles, demonstrating both environmental and economic benefits.
