Aside from a sharp reduction in energy bills, (these homes consume up to 90% less heating and cooling energy than conventional buildings) consistently warm spaces are one of the most commented upon benefits of passive house design, with the energy efficient building technologies lending to the elimination of any drafts within the living areas of the home.
Without the need for conventional heating systems like a big furnace or heater (which typically take up more space and require more ongoing maintenance and cost), you can expect lower overall heating costs, the elimination of the extra space to store a heating system, and ease of maintenance and operation with a more efficient mechanical system.
