While most Net Zero buildings are energy efficient, perhaps even highly so in comparison to minimum building code requirements, there is nothing requiring them to anywhere new the efficiency level of a Passivhaus .... this is why you will see odd things like warehouses with large rooftop solar installations being able to claim Net Zero.On the other hand, Passivhaus sets three metrics which a building must meet to be certified as Passivhaus compliant: The building must have a heating and cooling demand of not more than 15 kWh/m2 (4,755 BTU/sq ft; 5.017 MJ/sq ft) per year and a peak heat load of 10 W/m2.Total primary energy consumption (energy for heating, hot water and electricity) must not be more than 120 kWh/m2 (38,040 BTU/sq ft; 40.13 MJ/sq ft) per yearThe building must not leak more air than 0.6 times the house volume per hour (n50 ≤ 0.6 / hour) at 50 Pa (0.0073 psi) as tested by a blower door.Ironically, the research and pilot projects which fuelled what eventually became the Passivhaus standard was carried out in Saskatchewan as a National Research Council (NRC) project in the 1970s (the house is still in use today) and a similar project (Minnesota?)
