It is internationally recognised and serves as a foundational framework for nearly zero-energy buildings mandated by the European Union.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Its focus on controlling heating and cooling demand is particularly important for architects, as it aims to achieve energy control through passive architectural components, complemented by energy-efficient active systems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Over time, the Passivhaus Institute has refined the standard for warmer climates, leading to the construction of Passivhaus buildings in several southern European countries, many designed by our architecture firm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The appeal of the Passivhaus standard lies in its ability to significantly simplify active heating and cooling systems, as these buildings require very little energy to maintain excellent indoor climate comfort conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to view some of our projects with environmental certification, please click on the following links:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Proyecto Piloto PASSIVE HOUSE en Quercus \u2013 Real de la Quinta\" href=\"https:\/\/gjarquitectura.com\/en\/passive-house-pilot-project-in-quercus-real-de-la-quinta\/\">Pilot Project PASSIVE HOUSE in Quercus \u2013 Real de la Quinta<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"REAL DE LA QUINTA Y EL CERTIFICADO BREEAM, BENAHAV\u00cdS-MARBELLA\" href=\"https:\/\/gjarquitectura.com\/en\/real-de-la-quinta-and-the-breeam-certificate-benahavis-marbella\/\">REAL DE LA QUINTA &#8211;
