What you need to know about Passive House

A Passive House (PassivHaus in German) is a building standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable, affordable, and ecological at the same time.
 
A Passive House provides a comfortable and healthy indoor climate without the need to use active heating or cooling appliances. It heats and cools itself.
The vast energy savings in Passive Houses are achieved by using special energy efficient building components, and a very efficient heat recovery ventilation system. There is absolutely no cutting back on comfort. Instead, the level of comfort is considerably increased.

Efficiency improves comfort

The Passive House is the world's leading standard in energy-efficient construction. A Passive House requires as little as 10 percent of the energy used by typical central European buildings – meaning an energy savings of up to 90 percent. Owners of Passive Houses are barely concerned with increasing energy prices. 

What you need to know about Zero Energy Home (ZEH),  

Zero Energy Building (ZEB) & Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB)

Imagine a home that is not only energy efficient, but also produces its own power. Just like a typical home, a Zero Energy Home (ZEH) is connected to and uses energy from  the local electric utility. But unlike typical homes, at times a ZEH makes enough power to send some back to the utility company. Annually, a ZEH produces enough energy to offset the amount purchased from the utility provider, resulting in net-zero annual energy bills.
 
A ZEH combines state-of-the-art, energy-efficient construction techniques, and equipment with renewable energy systems to return as much energy as it takes in on an annual basis. When renewable resources cannot provide the entire home’s power (at night or on a cloudy winter day) the homeowner purchases energy from the utility provider. When renewable resources produce more than the house is using (during sunny days or when no-one is home) power is sent back into the utility grid. In some cases, the utility provider will operate the home’s electric meter in reverse, essentially providing the homeowner with full retail value for their energy.
