Don´t:
- Leave passive house until late in the desing process or treat PHPP (Passive House Planning Package) as a compliance check late in the design
- Assume that passive house dictates any particular construction system
- Combine unnecessarily different construction systems within one building
- Create design problems such as thermal bridges or challenging air tightness details by using unnecessary cantilevered structures or structural penetrations
