Abstract

Target of the projects is, to build up an international platform for Passivhaus actors
with the European Passivhaus database. The database will offer universal
knowledge about Passivhaus standard and will support this sustainable and
resource saving standard.

The database is part of the PASS-NET project which is supported by Intelligent
Energy Europe. Within this project it is Workpackage 5 „Establishment of a
European-wide database which describes and promotes pilot projects“. Additional
this database is supported by the science program „Haus der Zukunft plus“ from the
Austrian ministry of traffic, innovation and technology.

In particular, the database is to serve as an international acknowledged database
for decision-makers of the European Commission and the European Parliament as
well as all national and European bodies for implementing the European climate
protection and energy strategy objectives for 2020. That’s in accordance to the
recommendation of the European Parliament of 31 January 2008 to contribute in
establishing the passive house as the general standard in Europe by the year 2011.
It pursuant to the resolution tabled by the EU Parliament on 4 February 2009 to
achieve the target of zero net energy balance in new residential buildings from 2015
onwards, too. This is to ensure that the urgently needed targets can be reached
according to which Europe by the year 2020 must reduce greenhouse-gas
emissions by as much as 25 – 40% and by the year 2050 by at least 80% of the
level of 1990 in order to still contain the dramatic changes of worldwide climate as
much as possible. Another important aspect of the database is to serve as a
platform for proving the practicality of state-of-the-art energy-saving building
standards between those of passive houses and passive houses “plus”.

For this purpose, the core cooperation scheme under this project comprises both

planning and implementation of the database and bringing together the data stock
of the databases so far developed separately by the project partners IG Passivhaus
Österreich and PHD GmbH. Those databases include the database funded by
subsidies granted under the framework programme „House of the Future“ and
developed by IG Passivhaus Österreich and a database financed by own funds of
PHD GmbH (www.passivhausprojekte.de). The data contained in both databases
will be edited in the project, their contents reviewed for providing a structure to be
applied all over Europe and harmonized for European-wide use to safeguard
quality. This is done mostly by using the experience already gathered by PHD
GmbH in respect of quality-assuring structures and their essential development.
The database to be implemented under the project is to serve as the basis of a first
European-wide, later on international database created for an indefinite period of
time and operated jointly and solely by the two partners of the project. The purpose

5
of pooling and extending the data stock is to make the database offering in the
target sector more attractive and increase its response.

Additionally, cooperation with partners under the „Passnet“ EU project and with
further international partners is envisaged so as to ensure sustainable promotion of
the international aspects of the data-base and expansion of the data stock. As a
first step, it is planned to prepare the information in 9 languages. This will help to
establish, within a very brief time span, the world’s largest database for highly
efficient buildings, which, as early as by the end of 2010, will have documented in
detail and according to uniform quality standards more than 3000 passive houses,
some of them passive house “plus” buildings.


Data
For the acceptance of Passivhaus projects in the international database, the

projects get compared to the criteria of the Passivhaus Institut Darmstadt. Because
of that the high science quality gets assured. It’s also an important contribution of
awareness-raising.

The projects are classified in three categories:
Category “Passivhaus projects with the energy indicator < 15 kWh/m²a”
Category “Very low energy house, (<20 kWh/m²a in heat demand)”
Category “Refurbishment low energy house with ph components < 30 kWh/m²a“

As common basis for the calculation of energy characteristics the PHPP –
Passivhaus Projektierungs Paket is used.

1 Target of the intention
With the project passivehousedatabase.eu an international (in first step European)
internet based database shall be developed. The targets are education,
advertisement and quality assurance of Passivhaus standard, to assure highest
energy efficiency for a sustainable and eco-friendly building. A platform for
“European Public Relationship” for Passivhaus houses will be developed which will
be exempt of charges for input and output for everybody. The database offers
detailed information about Passivhaus standard. The European wide potential in
energy savings will be documented. The unique energy standard (PHPP) will be
described, which is comparable international unlike the national standards. The
necessary quality assurance will get promulgated by the database.

The buildings which are documented at passivehousedatabase.eu will have highest
living comfort. The database should intensify the attention in Europe and
international on Passivhaus standard. Additional it should document the further
development to Passivhaus-Plus standard and confirm this with qualitative
materials.

The database supports this progress by the connection of reference projects and

involved companies with technical know-how on international level. Because of that
there should be generated additional demand on Passivhaus which will boost the
Passivhaus-Plus as well.

It is a target of the database to support the recommendation of the EU Parliament
of 31 January 2008, to contribute in establishing the passive house as the general
standard in Europe by the year 2011 and the resolution tabled by the EU
Parliament on 4 February 2009, to achieve the target of zero net energy balance
in new residential buildings from 2015 onwards.

The databases is based on the Austrian IG Passivhaus database which is funded
by subsidies of the „House of the Future“ programme and on the German database
of PHD GmbH. It efforts a long time key role to the actors of Passivhaus sector
because of following targets:

1.1 International Passivhaus database actors
1. Establishing of a platform for know-how transfers of international Passivhaus
actors trough:

10
a. Core-cooperation of the IG Passivhaus Austria and the Passivhaus
Dienstleistung GmbH, Darmstadt under the science advice of the institute
for construction and material science of the University of Innsbruck. The
cooperation covers planning and realisation of the database, as well as the
consolidation of the both databases and the unlimited operation of the
European database.
b. Cooperation with the other PASS-NET partners. This secures the
internationality of the database and the enlargement of the existing portfolio
with at least 300 additional projects from 10 European countries. Because of
this cooperation the database will be offered in 9 languages from the

beginning.
c. Integration of additional international partners. Potential partners are France,
Ireland, Denmark, Switzerland, Italy, Netherlands, Hungary etc.

2. Increase of attraction and response on the database through merger of actual
separated activities of different countries and enlargement of documented
projects up to 3,400 till 2011.

3. Preparation of an international acknowledged database for decision makers of
the EU Commission and the EU Parliament plus all European bodies for the
implementation of the climate and energy targets. The European database will
show that every kind of building in any region is possible in Passivhaus
standard. It also will show how fast Passivhaus can boost in a region, if there
are the right political decisions.

4. Establishing of a platform for confirmation of suitability (energy performance,
user satisfaction, etc.) of energy efficient buildings standards as Passivhaus and
Passivhaus-Plus. Because of this network of evaluation data this database will
be the most substantiated basis for energy efficient buildings worldwide.
Therewith the requirements, to make the Passivhaus standard to the general
European building standard, will be created.

1.2 Database offer
Unique size of a free accessible building database worldwide. Because of that, an
enormous spectrum of population and decision makers can be reached:

a. Large existing basis of data: Sum of the two most important Passivhaus
databases “1000 Passivhäuser in Österreich” and passivhausprojekte.de
with about 2,000 projects together. Additional integration of small databases
of Passnet partners.

b. Continuing enlargement of data: Increase of the database with about
1,400 international projects till end of 2011.
c. Compilation of primary energy demand for heating, hot water, auxiliary-
and household-current, as it is calculated for Passivhaus with PHPP.

11
Additional the calculation will be possible without any household current, to
have a better comparison to other building standards.
d. Additional the detailed compilation and evaluation of the kind of energy
support and production with renewable energy as photovoltaic, thermal
collectors, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass, pellets and heat
pumps.
e. Broad multilingualism from beginning: Instead of being just in the original
language, the projects should be in English and seven additional
languages translated. This implements the complete data structure. By the
time the database shall be translated in many more languages. This is very
important, to reach people from every countries.
f. Extensive multilingual multi-functionality: Therewith cross-border and
cross-language activities can be organized and coordinated. Special
activities will be the international days of Passivhaus and the
international Passivhaus meeting. There will be additional functions for
communication as an area for press relation etc.
g. Expansion of the statistic analyses: The international database offers
new possibilities of analysing the actual portfolio. The concentrated
presence of Passivhaus projects gives an account on the outstanding
competence of the Passivhaus sector in those countries. This is the
fundament for knowledge, studies and political decisions.
h. The Passivhaus database will because the voice of energy efficiency in
Europe. Although everybody is clear about that 100% renewable energy is
just possible with massive efforts in energy efficiency, there is still no

comparable Lobby for energy efficiency as in the energy sector. With the
database all the players for energy efficiency, specially the SMB, can get
connected and visible.

1.3 Parameters of the transfer and networking activities
1. Cooperation:
a. Three key partners: close unlimited partnership between IG Passivhaus Austria
and the Passivhaus Dienstleistung GmbH, Darmstadt. This partnership is based
on a contractual fundament. These project partners are the provider of the
European Passivhaus database. The building faculty Innsbruck with its leader
Wolfgang Feist from chair in building physics will be the third partner who will be
supporting and mediating the team.
b. 9 countries involved: The international Passivhaus organisations that are part of
the Passnet project are from 9 different countries.
c. Expandable number of international cooperation partners: The providers of
the PASS-NET project are attempting to enlarge the group. There shall be at least
cooperation partners from 20 European counties till 2010. Preparing
negotiations are in progress.





12

Structure of the database:

One database: Access to the entry mask will be offered to the international
partners. Operation, quality assurance and communication will be done by the
Austrian and German operators. The operators will guarantee quality assurance
for Passivhaus and Passivhaus-Plus standard by publishing these standards on an
international level.



The organization of the administration of the database:
The structure of the database relies on the work of registered users (data input)
and accredited administrators (prove of plausibility). Every national structure of
administration will be created by the national contractual partner (In the graph
there is shown the example for United Kingdom).


13





Illustration of the basic functionality of the database:
Beginning with the central database every country can use nine basic functions in
their language: documentation and illustration of projects, documentation and
compilation of publications of the projects or the database, organization and
handling of the “international days of Passivhaus”, search function, extensive
statistic analysis, yellow pages, “context help”, area in the single chapters for user
and administrator.

2 Initial position

The start of the Passivhaus was done by Mr. Wolfgang Feist, who built up the first
Passivhaus in Darmstadt-Kranichstein in 1989-1991.

In spite of huge interest of professional planners, property developer, business and
opinion leader there is still a big deficit in the knowledge about Passivhaus
standard. This is specially the case outside Germany and Austria, where not many
houses are built yet. For clients, planer and other companies it’s important to
recognize, that the pioneer and experiment phase in Germany, Austria and
Switzerland is completed now. The Passivhaus is becoming the building standard
already. This trend, which is also beginning in other regions like Flanders and
South Tyrol, the database will help to extend.





14



As comparable Passivhaus databases there are just the examples of the
Passivhaus Institut, which is supervised by the Passivhaus Dienstleistung GmbH
at www.passivhaus-info.de
and of the IG Passivhaus Österreich at
www.igpassivhaus.at

Development of both Passivhaus databases

The PASS-NET project „European-wide database“ is connected to the
„passivehousedatabase.eu“ which is supported by the Austrian Ministry of traffic,
innovation and technology through the program „Haus der Zukunft plus“.

The database is an important base to support the recommendation of the EU
Parliament of 31 January 2008, to contribute in establishing the passive house as
the general standard in Europe by the year 2011 and the resolution tabled by the
EU Parliament on 4 February 2009, to achieve the target of zero net energy
balance in new residential buildings from 2015 onwards. By the connection of
projects and evaluation data this database will be the most fundamental basis
worldwide for most energy efficient buildings. Because of the multilingualism and
the quality assurance it will boost the Passivhaus in new regions.

3 Methodology and data capture

The international and interactive network is an independent service provider who
acts as a community in PASS-NET project. The work package is leaded by the
IG Passivhaus which is working together with its 10 European partners.

3.1 Criteria of acceptance and integration of Passivhaus projects
For the acceptance of Passivhaus projects in the international database, the
projects get compared to the criteria of the Passivhaus Institut Darmstadt. The
projects are classified in following categories:

3.1.1 Criteria for Category “Passivhaus projects with the heat load < 15 kWh/m²a”
- Heat demand smaller than 15 KWh/m²a (according to PHPP)

- n
50
< 0,6 measured
- PH-window U
W
< 0,85 W/m²k (PH-Institute certified or other certificate)

3.1.2 Criteria for Category “Very low energy house, (<20 kWh/m²a in heat demand)”
- Heat demand 15 till 20 kWh/m²a according to PHPP or 15 kWh/m²a according
to national energy performance certificate
- n
50
< 0,6 measured is to be aspired to
- Not complete data for definitely Passivhaus declaration

3.1.3 Criteria for Category „Refurbishment low energy house with ph components“
- All kinds of buildings and use

16
- Heat demand up to 30 kWh/m²a according to PHPP or 20 kWh/m²a according
to national energy performance certificate
- n
50
< 0,6 measured

3.2 Data evaluation
To get a significant structure of data, the documented projects are calculated
according to PHPP beside the calculation according to the national energy
performance certificate. Additional the calculation according to PHHP assures the
quality of the evaluated data.

All projects are proved on plausibility. If necessary a correction of the data will get
enquired.

Beside that, the projects don’t need to fulfil any other criteria, what means:
- the projects can be built without any subsidies
- the involved companies don’t need to be member of any Passivhaus
Network
- the input of data is complete free and without any charge

The statistic analyses of this interactive project will be shown in several graphs.
They will be public and free for everybody. Because of enormous number of
Passivhaus projects, the diagrams will be very representative and significant.

3.3 Non-liability

The project information in the Passivhaus database consists of the data of the
clients, planner or other involved companies. We bother to enlarge and actualise
the information all the time. The Pass-Net consortium or any third party can’t
warrant the correctness, completeness or actuality of the database.

Any liability, especially any damages or consequences which occur because of the
use of the offered knowledge, is excluded. Additional there can’t be any liability of
any rights on any data or information of a third party.

5 Results and reasoning
There has been an intensive cooperation for the entry of the planned and built
Passivhaus projects in Europe between the 10 PASS-NET countries. Because of
this and the already documented Passivhaus projects in the existing databases in
Germany and Austria there are already documented 2,047 Passivhaus buildings
per 31
st
of May 2009. These buildings are including 8,448 flats and lot of non-
residential buildings which will be online soon.

These documented projects are a relevant part of the European Passivhaus sector
and offer an outstanding platform for planner, property developer, business and
opinion leader in the database.

The following analyses are showing that just Germany and Austria are having the
only extensive documentation of Passivhaus development. This is possible
because of the detailed databases this countries have.

In compare the other countries have a very low documentation and just a few built
Passivhaus buildings. This shall be changed with the European database.
