This Passivhaus Plus certified single-family house has a very low level of air infiltration, and an installed solar photovoltaic generator which generates about twice the energy consumed by the house in an average year.
Case study
An indoor ambient simulation is useful to quantitatively assess the performance of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and predict the air flows needed for optimal comfort in any season. Hence, it is possible to reduce energy consumption, simulate air purification, enhance thermal comfort, and optimise HVAC configurations, especially when different system solutions are integrated in the same building.

Event
The demand for sustainable space cooling technology is increasing globally. Passive cooling systems should be implemented, and when necessary, combined with active cooling. This article provides two practical examples, one implementing an active system and the second applying a passive solution using a simulation tool.
