How does the design of a passive house affect the garden and outdoor space?


Introduction

Passive houses are energy efficient buildings with excellent thermal insulation and ventilation systems. The design of this type of house also has a significant impact on the design of the garden and exterior space.

Thermal insulation and plants

The excellent thermal insulation used in passive houses allows the internal temperature to remain stable regardless of weather conditions. This allows plants in the garden and outside space to grow and flourish in optimal conditions.

Passive cooling and patio

The ventilation system used in passive houses allows natural cooling and ventilation. This results in a comfortable temperature inside the house, which is ideal for a terrace or garden. This can be taken into account when designing the terrace or garden, and comfortable seating or shade can be provided to allow passive cooling users to relax in comfort.

Energy efficiency and garden lighting

Passive houses use energy efficient solutions such as solar energy. This allows garden lighting without the need for higher energy consumption. Energy efficient lighting in the garden allows you to enjoy the garden in the evening hours while minimising energy consumption.

Conclusion

Passive house design has a significant impact on the design of the garden and outdoor space. Energy efficient solutions allow for optimal plant growth and passive cooling creates an ideal environment for patio or garden use. In addition, energy efficiency allows garden lighting to be designed with minimum energy consumption.
