Passive House - Apartment Building HVAC System
Passive House - Apartment Building HVAC System
(OP)
Would anyone happen to know what type of mechanical HVAC systems would be found in an apartment building required to meet passive housing standards? There is a lot of information on small size single residential passive house but not so much on medium and larger buildings. Thanks for the help.

Probably some air source heatpump for each unit to provide heating and cooling. Or a geothermal one if you have freezing temperatures.
Or condensing boiler (possibly with solar hot water) hydronic heat if you don't need AC.
