    Summary note
    Passive House in Different Climates' introduces the seven Passive House principles, to help you create super-insulated, airtight buildings that require minimal energy use to heat, cool, dehumidify, and ventilate, with superior indoor air quality and year-round comfort. Seventeen case studies in four climate zones--marine, cold and very cold, mixed-dry and hot-dry, and mixed-humid and hot-humid--and in ten countries, show you how to achieve net-zero energy regardless of where you're building or what type of building is required. Includes more than 150 color illustrations.
