Energy efficiency in the built environment has become an important issue with global warming as one of the main drivers. An extreme example of lowering the energy consumption while still providing a good indoor environment for the occupants in residential construction are the so-called passive houses. Within the framework of the “Optimization of Extreme Low Energy and Pollution buildings†project, which studies low energy concepts for residential buildings from an economic, energy and environmental point of view, a recently constructed passive house in Belgium has been subjected to several measurements in order to verify and compare the achieved performance in situ with the predicted /calculated values.
