There are still relatively few Passivhaus books published in English. I have selected the most relevant ones I know of below. Some are very much inspirational, such as Passive Houses: Energy Efficient Homes, some are highly technical such as Passive House Design – Planning and design of energy-efficient buildings, while others such as An Introduction to Passive House combine both inspiration and technical information. If you wish to purchase any of these Passivhaus books I highly recommend supporting your local independent bookshop where possible. However, if you do choose to purchase from Amazon using any of the links on this site, Amazon will pay me a small commission (at no cost to you) which will support this site.
