Energy demand in the 21st century is increasing continually. This increase in energy demand is one of the factors affecting the increase in universal problems. Energy is produced using both renewable and non-renewable resources. Therefore, energy consumption is an important factor in ensuring the continuation of energy resources. Most of the consumption demand in the world's total energy consumption is made for heating and cooling buildings. Approximately 40% percent of energy resources are used for heating and cooling of buildings. Switching to a sustainable energy system and saving energy is also very important for the future of the world. Many buildings must be redesigned structurally to increase energy efficiency and to decrease CO2 emissions. Using technology, a new energy saving method has been developed with this change in the construction of buildings. Advanced construction techniques that are developed, under development or will be developed in the future, can decrease energy consumption by employing material technologies and other techniques that can maintain the heat levels of buildings in a better way. Therefore, in terms of energy efficiency and sustainability, application of passive house designs is a good way for saving energy. The basic idea of the passive house is constructing a well insulated airtight structure with mechanical ventilation. In this study, the passive house, which can be called a wholly new aspect of energy saving that can support the transition to a sustainable and low carbon future, has been evaluated in the context of the energy usage
