Outline:
Did you ever wonder if it is worthwhile spending the extra money to go passive?
This question has been bothering me too.
That is why I spend two months digging into data and speaking with certified Passive House builders and designers.
The findings are mind-blowing!
Simple design decisions can triple the additional Passive House costs for the same floor plan.
The additional costs are usually less than $400 per square meter floor area or 1.5-15% depending on size and design.
But what does this all mean in real life?
The maximum financial burden caused by the Passive House additional expense is just the cost of a coffee a day.
