What is the Passivhaus Institute Low Energy Building (LEB) standard?

The Passivhaus Institute Low Energy Building (LEB) standard is an ultra-low-energy benchmark that borrows Passivhaus’ fabric-first DNA (high insulation, airtightness, thermal-bridge control, efficient ventilation) but has slightly more flexible targets than full Passivhaus. It delivers predictable comfort and low energy demand for diverse building types.
