Comparative CO2 balance sheet: passive home and classic home




by Gregconstruct » 07/11/07, 20:07

Hello everybody

I am currently a student of construction and I am preparing my end of study work.

I chose to make a comparative assessment concerning the emission of CO2 by a passive house and a conventional house.
This assessment will also include CO2 emissions during the construction of buildings and the production of materials.

In order to provide the most precise work possible, I am looking for documents and any source of information (or lead to sources).

If you can help or guide me in any way, don't hesitate!

I thank you in advance.

Ecological greetings

The results interest me, but there you have a job and it will not be easy. Good luck.

There are answers all over this site and in others on passive "solar" constructions (search in google, I no longer have the names in mind) ... apologies, I must go. dodo.

Hi Greg.
The best thing to do is to consult the Swiss site Minergie (also in French). Otherwise, if you have a few basics in German, do a search for "Passivhaus" on a German or Austrian search engine. They are way ahead of what is being done in France.

Not easy to calculate the gray energy of materials. If you find serious sources on this subject, could you let us know? It interests me greatly too.

And then once your diploma is obtained, do not hesitate to contact us to disseminate your results if you wish.

Sorry that I can't help you anymore for now.

Thank you for the info, actually the Germans / Austrians are very early: I saw a lot of reports which are also perhaps in the TV news of this forum.

Many thanks to all!

I will obviously tell you about the progress of my research.
I am not the type to keep good information for our environment!

Ecological greetings

Hello Gregconstruct,
We are three students of the first Scientist and we are currently working on a TPE on the passive house. Your research interests us a lot because CO2 emissions are an important point for us, and so far we have not found any "real" information on this subject. We are going to look at the sites that have been sent to you. If you could tell us the results of your research or your sources that would be of great help.
Thanking you in advance, greetings

Hello Guss70,

CO2 data are actually difficult to access.
And I must say that at the moment are not very advanced.
I'm still waiting for a lot of information. Governments and businesses are rather reluctant to disclose this kind of information.

As soon as I have something new, I will be sure to let you know.
I hope that we can forge links of exchange in order to make things happen.

There you have a concrete example of a passive house with residents inside for a year:

You have to go to their website, everything is detailed from the construction to the daily monitoring of indoor-outdoor temperatures.
