Without the solar heat gain, it is extremely challenging to pass in that climate.

36 Summary Passive House works in all climates, but may not be cost effective in extreme climates There will be less artistic freedom in extreme climates due to building envelope and mechanical system requirements to pass Changes in each component in the PHPP modeling software will affect other system components Utilizing a whole-system design strategy can help eliminate time spent on one aspect without reviewing every component, streamline the process and save the client money
