British Columbia is no exception.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can sense the traction that Passive house is gaining within various public and private sector organizations. The City of Vancouver has emphasized \u201cPassive House\u201d as the preferred pathway for compliance under Green Building for Rezoning; BC Energy Step Code has highlighted \u201cPassive House\u201d as the minimum energy performance standard for Part 9 buildings by 2032; Various channels have been created such as Passive House Accelerator and Passive House Canada to allow enthusiastic Passive House certifiers and designers to exchange knowledge. \u201cPassive House\u201d is certainly a hot buzzword in the British Columbia construction industry these days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This two-part journal will focus on clearing some common myths relating to Passive House Building Design, its lesser known benefits, the future role Passive House might play in the BC market and how Impact Engineering can guide you to achieve affordable and sustainable passive house design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rezoning.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7391\" width=\"1008\" height=\"364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rezoning.jpg 794w, https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rezoning-300x108.jpg 300w, https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/rezoning-768x278.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1008px) 100vw, 1008px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As more Passive House projects come online in Canada, there is growing commentaries on the effectiveness of the design standard, both positive and negative. Here are some common myths, which hopefully can be resolved when you finish reading the journal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1b57a6;font-size:25px\"><em><strong>Myth 1: Passive House ONLY applies to Residential Building<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is true that Passive House originates from single family home construction in the far North of Germany. Nevertheless, passive house principles can be applied to different building types and across various climate zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buildings with high internal heat gains (i.e. schools, commercial office buildings) will require strategic planning of building orientation and shading devices to minimize overall cooling demand. On the contrary, residential building design focus, is primarily on utilizing solar gain and heat recovery from waste air streams. Each building type will have their own specific design considerations; however, challenges can be overcome with a robust design process and attention to details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1b57a6;font-size:25px\"><em><strong>Myth 2: Passive House has high overheating risk<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Superior airtightness inherent to the Passive House standard is not the cause of overheating. There are three elements that play a crucial role in mitigating overheating risk in all buildings: an optimized shading strategy, a well considered glazing ratio\/orientation and sufficient fresh air openings on the facades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1b57a6;font-size:25px\"><em><strong>Myth 3: Passive House ONLY allows rectangular shape building with tiny windows&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst the Passive House standard sets up specific parameters and energy targets, it does not restrain a designers&#8217; freedom to dream <strong>BIG<\/strong> and to inject their &#8220;creative juice&#8221; into the construction forms and methods. Based on building location, typology and function, designers are free to adopt the most appropriate and innovative design measures specific to the project to achieve the final certification. There are numerous Passive House project examples across the world illustrating the diversity in architectural expression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"430\" src=\"https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-20-1024x430.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7378\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-20-1024x430.png 1024w, https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-20-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-20-768x323.png 768w, https:\/\/impacteng.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Copy-of-Untitled-20-1536x645.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption><strong><em>Source: Passive House Canada<\/em><\/strong> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1b57a6;font-size:25px\"><em><strong>Myth 4: Passive House is Unaffordable&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, the construction of Passive House projects does come at a premium due to the market availability of some certified components (i.e. windows and mechanical equipment) and the skillset of the existing construction industry in BC.
