Building envelope Passipedia EN
The Passive House envelope The most important principle for energy efficient construction is a continuous insulating envelope all around the building (yellow thick line), which minimises heat losses like a warm coat. In addition to the insulating envelope there should also be an airtight layer (red line) as most insulation materials are not airtight. Independently of the construction ...
High insulation levels, thermal bridge-free design, and an airtight envelope—three key aspects needed to achieve Passive House -level efficiency—have an additional advantage: high-quality building physics. This makes structural longevity an inherent property of Passive House buildings.
Moving forward, it's essential to keep these visual contexts in mind when discussing Passive House Envelope Insulation.

What does Passive House focus on? Passive House focuses on building envelope performance, including insulation , airtightness, glazing, thermal bridge reduction and controlled ventilation.
For a Passive House , the aim is to use assemblies with enough insulation to double or triple the heat resistance compared to what is required in current Canadian building codes. The result is a significant increase in the thermal performance expected from the building envelope .
There are a myriad of benefits to using both fiberglass and mineral wool insulation products in Passive House construction, including their cost-effectiveness, fire performance, and sustainability profiles. This case study provides an example of a Passive House construction project that utilizes fiberglass and mineral wool insulation in its thermal envelope approach.
Passive House Principles Complete Insulation Passive homes required a continuous layer of super- insulation throughout the building envelope (all the walls, floor, and ceiling). This provides unmatched comfort in your home - even in extreme weather conditions. Good thermal protection can be achieved for all construction methods.
