At the uni a where I work we have one of the largest passive houses built in Europe. It's called the centre for medicine building.

Iv been down in the plant room numerous times and worked closely with the sparks who spends most of his time with bms systems.

Basically to sum it up this building is aiming for an A+ rated building and that's very very rare to achieve.

Every office/room within the building has independently controlled heating and ventilation so for example if all the heating to the building was shut down it would only drop by 1 degree a day.

Any new fixing or hole in the wall has to be sealed completely etc.

It's get really technical when there are so many control systems for ventilation, heat management, air handling units etc

My lad lived in one these houses, well flat. The flipping air circulation fan made a right racket. I always opened the bedroom window at night, when we stayed over. All electric two bed flat, just him. £120 a month leccy bill. Not very efficient.

OP be careful where you drill holes, get it in writing!

They would never take, 'cos I kept opening the windows.

That wouldn't of been a passive house if his electric bills are that high...It would of been a flat with mechanical ventilation.

Dunno, but it was sold as a most energy efficient new build, but I just felt inclined to open the windows at night?
