Passive houses are extremely well-insulated buildings capable of maintaining long the heat present in the building, both coming from the sunlight, as generated by the very people and household equipment. Thus, reducing heat loss is one of the objectives of the house, based on simulations of energy consumption, is designed so that only need an additional energy of 25 kWh / m 2 per year. The circular shape of the house is not accidental: it gets in this way eliminate thermal bridges, as well as minimize the perimeter of the house and, consequently, the wall surface in contact with the outside.
