Passive building is one of the most rigorous building certification programs in the world and focuses on energy-efficiency, unmatched comfort, air quality, durability, and conservation. Passive building offers the best path to net-zero and net-positive building in both residential and commercial construction by greatly reducing the required energy load of a building (and the load that renewables must carry, if used).
