The purpose of the thesis was to provide an overall picture of a passive house with topics and aspects that are of importance. The aim was to offer concise information on the subjects and provide a practical guide on designing a passive house in a cold climate. Recommendations for building a passive house in Southern Finland were also given. Two passive house projects in Canada and Sweden were discussed. Literary sources such as the Passive House Details Solutions for High-Performance Design book and the Passive House Design book were studied to provide practical knowledge on each topic. The thesis included some lessons learnt from experiences that were shared by passive house experts. Recommended characteristics of a passive house in Finland were given based on recommendations of passive house experts. The blogs of the two passive house projects in Sweden and Canada were reviewed for information. The owner of the passive house in Sweden was interviewed for insights. The thesis gives a starting point to architects and homeowners for their journey in studying passive house. All topics discussed are essential in passive house design to provide the basics and preliminary understanding on the subjects. Therefore, the level of details of the thesis remains at the introductory level.
