Monitored energy use of air to water heat pumps in single Passivhaus dwellings is compared with the design estimates using PHPP. Heat pumps using conventional HFC refrigerants are compared with CO2 refrigerant. The latter gave improved performance for hot water heating but significantly worse for space heating. This is due to the very low heat load of Passivhaus dwellings being below the normal output range of available heat pumps.]]>

Passive solar is dead, long live super-insulation. This paper was presented at the 25th International Passivhaus Conference, online. Passivhaus (Passive House) is the leading international standard for comfortable low energy buildings. This paper recommends designers consider designing for the alternative metric of peak heating load rather than annual energy demand. This means optimising glazing for daylight and views and not for solar gain. ]]>
