Hello forum members,

We are planning to build and I am trying to decide on the construction method and technology to use.
So far, I like the Lego-style blocks (Isorast) with blocks measuring 42.75 cm (16.8 inches). Is it possible to build a passive house with these?
Of course, I need to insulate the foundation slab and roof well, and install triple-glazed windows.
However, based on conversations with the consultant, they recommend a heat pump, underfloor heating, and ventilation to maintain the desired temperature in the house.
Actually, in a passive house, you shouldn’t have to invest much in technology; otherwise you’re basically building a low-energy house (which is cheaper).
Will the additional costs for a passive house be worthwhile?
I look forward to your opinions.

Not individually, the entire combination of all components is crucial.

This approach is certainly effective, as it is possible to build a Passive House or a house close to Passive House standards quite affordably even without official certification.

Best regards.
