Passive houses are distinguished by their exceptional energy efficiency, relying minimally on active heating and cooling systems, which makes them a leading model in sustainable residential construction. Through this research, this paper aims to shed light on the environmental implications of passive house designs by employing Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) as a key evaluative tool.}, abstract={The primary objective of this study is to conduct a comprehensive Life Cycle Analysis of a single-family passive house, comparing its environmental performance against a more conventional Base model. The analysis specifically targets the stages A1-A3, which focus on materials, and B6-B7, which focus on the operational energy use and water consumption. By concentrating on these crucial stages, this investigation provides a detailed assessment of the long-term environmental benefits and trade-offs associated with passive house construction.}, title={Life Cycle Assessment of a Single-family Passive House: Environmental Performance Compared with a Conventional Residential Model}, type={artykuł}, keywords={sustainable construction, passive house, energy efficiency, Life Cycle Analysis}, }
