2. Content 2.1 Different types of Passive house Construction The images below show some of the various different wall constructions that are often used to build a Passive house. Figure 2.1: different types of wall construction used to build passive houses which should give the desired U-value of 0.15W/m2K or less Some of these options would be more structurally sound compared to others. Some of the above options may be used that can often make a passive build cheaper than a conventional…

art of the Airavatesvara temple compared to the great magnitude of the edifice is not prolific nor is it the product of any atelier noted for refined sensibility and freshness of ideas.
