What can I win?
We are grateful to be able to give a prize of $475 to the winner of the contest.
Why $475?
This value is based on the performance standard of Passive House! A Passive House building must be designed to have an annual heating and cooling demand of not more than 4.75 kiloBTUs per square foot per year.
The 4.75 kBTU/sf/year limit of heating energy for Passive House was set because this is the point at which the cost to install a traditional heating and cooling systems can be eliminated- In other words, the money invested is shifted from mechanical equipment to insulation, air tightness, high performance windows and heat recovery ventilation.
