ᐅ Passive House as a Logical Choice? Are There Any Counterarguments?

Hello everyone,
we are a family planning to build a house. So we have tried to gather as much information as possible. In the process, we have come across the passive house concept.
Do you know that feeling when you think you understand something and then wonder why everyone isn’t doing it that way? That’s exactly how we feel about the passive house right now. Are we missing something, or are there any arguments against building a passive house? I really can’t think of any.
Of course, it is somewhat more expensive, but if I recover the costs soon and then save money for life, I don’t understand, for example, why I would build a KfW 70 house instead...
So please either correct me or agree with me, but my conviction about the passive house feels a bit unsettling.
Thanks for your thoughts.

You end up with a total of about 2% for that anyway.

I didn’t write "everything except me" either.
But whatever, Wikipedia mentions something about 5%–15%, so with my 2%, I was still a bit off. If any building expert or someone else has verifiable figures, hopefully you will correct Wikipedia soon so that no one ends up in trouble.
In a few years, the question will be irrelevant anyway.

Masipulami21 Feb 2015 22:53Whether it’s 2% or 5% more... both are absolutely (!) unrealistic.
If that were the case, everyone would build a passive house. But since you apparently refuse to take any advice here, not even from professionals like Bauexperte who are experts in the field...
Well, it’s your building project and your money...
