The difference between prefabricated houses and passive houses
As for the difference between prefabricated houses and passive houses, simply put, prefabricated houses are a way of producing and building houses, which are energy-saving and environmentally friendly during the construction process; passive houses are a green energy-saving design concept that saves energy during use.
So what is a prefabricated house?
Prefabricated houses refer to buildings that transfer a large amount of on-site work in traditional construction methods to factories, process and manufacture building components and accessories (such as wall panels, stairs, floors, etc.) in factories, transport them to construction sites, and assemble and install them on site through reliable connections. It is worth mentioning that traditional house construction is to pour reinforced concrete after the foundation is completed, while prefabricated houses are like building blocks, where the wall panels, stairs, floors and other building components and accessories required for the building are made in factories and installed at the construction site.
So what is a passive house?
Passive houses are also called passive ultra-low energy green houses. This type of house uses ultra-thick insulation materials and complex doors and windows. It mainly achieves efficient thermal insulation performance through the construction of the house itself, and uses solar energy and heat dissipation of household appliances to provide heat sources for the room, reducing or not using actively supplied energy. Even if other energy sources are needed, clean renewable energy should be used as much as possible. Therefore, passive houses have better thermal insulation, heat insulation and energy saving effects. So what is the connection between prefabricated houses and passive houses?
Although prefabricated houses and passive houses are technically different, the two are also constantly integrating and developing. Passive houses are gradually applying prefabricated houses in the field of technical modular buildings. They adopt an integrated design of structure and insulation, with good air tightness, thermal insulation, sound insulation and noise reduction performance. At the same time, in the modular design and production of prefabricated houses, the concept of passive green technology is combined to create a building house full of futuristic and sustainable sense.
