Donald B. Corner Jan C. Fillinger - Passive house details : solutions for high-performance design

Passive House Detailsintroduces the concepts, principles, and design processes of building ultralow-energy buildings. The objective of this book is to provide design goals, research, analysis, systems, details, and inspiring images of some of the most energy-efficient, carbonneutral, healthy, and satisfying buildings currently built in the region. Other topics included: heat transfer, moisture management, performance targets, and climatic zones. Illustrated with more than 375 color images, the book is a visual catalog of construction details, materials, and systems drawn from projects contributed from forty firms. Fourteen in-depth case studies demonstrate the most energy-efficient systems for foundations, walls, floors, roofs, windows, doors, and more.

Passive House is a movement whose time has finally arrived! This book superbly fills the gap between the admirable goal of low-energy design and the difficulty of achieving the desired results through the often messy process of building construction.
Jerry Yudelson, PE, LEED Fellow, author of Green Building: Why Certification Systems Arent Working and What We Can Do About It

This book is an indispensable resource for passive building professionals. It features exemplary envelope details from successful large and small scale residential projects across a variety of climates. Home owners, developers and policy makers interested in passive building will find this book an invaluable resource.
