Re: Is the LEED program a fraud?
silkwj is correct in that the 15 kWh/m^2/yr number does not include fans, but I believe it does include cooling. It is not generally referred to as cooling, because the passivhaus certification is not yet very popular in areas which require much cooling.
posted: 1:57 pm on March 25thA passive house attempts to control the temperature of the house using only the volume of fresh air ventilation required to maintain indoor air quality. It is impossible to do without a recirculated air system if your house requires more than 15 kWh/m^2/yr for all-inclusive climate control.
