TL;DRAbstract
The building sector is affected by the global rise of energy demand. Because of this, energy efficient techniques become more and more important. There is a possibility of relating the costs to energy efficiency, especially in new buildings. One of the most comprehensive approaches in this case is the Passive House concept. The distribution of these highly energy efficient buildings increased from the first demonstration houses in 1991 to around 3,500 housing units in 2004. The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is commonly used in design. Through the increasing distribution outside Central Europe, additional requirements, e.g. moisture protection or thermal comfort, are becoming more and more important. Transient building simulation could provide possible solutions. It is assumed that monthly energy fluxes are comparable.
