This CS Architects / Carr Engineering case study describes a Passive House located in Ireland, designed to achieve high energy efficiency and sustainability. The house features an airtight, well-insulated envelope that minimizes heat loss, alongside triple-glazed windows and a heat recovery ventilation system to maintain indoor air quality while reducing energy consumption.

The design maximizes passive solar gains, optimizing the use of natural light and heat. The building's primary energy demand and heating demand are significantly lower than typical Irish homes, making it highly energy-efficient and cost-effective. The project demonstrates the potential for low-energy construction in Ireland's climate, offering both environmental and economic benefits.
