1) "Passive" does not mean without heating.
2) For information, an Open House day to visit passive houses on November 6 and 7.

3) Effinergie takes into account the situation (climatic zone and altitude): "The maximum primary energy consumption objective is set at 50 kWh / m².year,
to be adjusted according to the climatic zone and the altitude."
4) Depending on the label, energy other than for heating is included or not.
Ex:
Passive house: "Whatever its construction method and its geographical location, a passive house, with all the current comforts, does not need more than 15 kWh per m2 and per year ..."
Three criteria are used to determine whether a building can obtain the “Passive House / Passivhaus” label (link to MP label):
• Needs
in heating <15 kWh / (m2a)
• Tightness of the enclosure: n50 ≤ 0,6 h-1
• Needs in
total primary energy (household appliances included): <120 kWh / (m2a)
For Effinergie, this is the total primary energy consumed for heating, lighting, ventilation and DHW (so if I understand correctly, excluding other devices, boxes, TVs, watches ...).
Conventional primary energy consumption (Cep according to the RT 2005 calculation method) for:
heating,
the recooling,
ventilation,
the auxiliaries,
domestic hot water production
room lighting
The conventional primary energy consumption must be less than or equal to a value in kWh / m² Shon of primary energy which is expressed in the form:
Cep <or = 50 x (a + b)
(a) is given by a map depending on the geographic location
(b) results from the altitude
Conclusion, before re-inventing the powder, remember that the Chinese did it a few centuries BC !!!
