It's really not clear what that statement could refer to since the houses appear to be building code minimum from the documents & photos on the WCC project page & are unlikely to even comply with the new building code energy efficiency requirements coming into force 1 May 2023

Perhaps you got this from the WCC media release https://t.co/bDzzCGObO7 which says "All the townhouses are designed to be ‘passive’, meaning they’ll self-regulate their temperature to be warm in winter and cool in summer, and create cost savings for tenants."

Please add "Passive House" & "Passive House Principles" to the list of things @NZStuff needs to fact-check when claimed. If the subject can't provide any evidence, feel free to touch base with us to check. Contact details at the bottom of the home page:

3 things that stand out showing this is nothing like Passive House: - standard poor-performing NZ windows - no ventilation system - maintains 16 C which is not comfortable or healthy (if it were Passive House it would be 20-25 C)

"Passive House" is a building standard, as such, it is protected by consumer law. See this article & linked guidance document: https://t.co/RNPGWZ3S8s @NZStuff

From Stuff: "In the past two years, however, there has been a surge of awareness over the immediate and long-term benefits of a certified passive house for both families and the environment." #passivehouse https://t.co/VyGrp6XFse

Although, to be sure of this result it's best to get your project Passive House certified (this one doesn't appear to be)

Helena and Andrew have seen energy costs plummet in their new passive home with solar panels - in summer they heat the pool, and they're in credit for $15.
