Answers to frequently asked questions about passive houses

• Are there any architectural limitations for building a passive house at Namai A+?

  A passive house may have almost the same architecture as a regular house; there are no essential limitations as for selected materials, height or architectural concept. You may choose a wooden or block house and different construction materials. The only recommendation is to have the majority windows of the house facing south to reduce heat loss.

• Is it possible to build a passive house under Lithuania's climatic conditions?

  The percent of energy saving may vary slightly from region to region, but the decision to build a passive house will be a rational choice in any region. Passive houses are popular both in Germany, Austria and Norway located further north.

• What is the payback period of my passive house?

  The myth that the price of the passive house starts from one million is simply not true! Usually, additional investments in such a house amount to approximately 10 to 25% depending on technologies and equipment used. The average payback period of such investments is 4 to 7 years. We are ready to provide individual calculations on the payback of your passive house and, most importantly, we will do it completely free of charge without requiring any commitments!
