The project includes an adjacent 9-storey building with 63 apartments, however the tallest tower, which is 32 storeys high, has been fully sold with residents already moving in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The housing development, known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buildup.eu\/en\/practices\/cases\/worlds-tallest-passive-house-high-rise-bolueta-bilbao-spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bolueta<\/a>, will consume about 90% less heating energy than a typical existing building and 75% less energy than an average new construction. This is due to the design of Passive House, with a high amount of thermal insulation, triple-glazed windows and an airtight building envelope which takes the place of a normal heating system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the challenge was to keep the project in budget and\nto use traditional materials. It is estimated that the cost of the Bolueta was\napproximately 12.5 million euros. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other high-rise buildings that are energy efficient\nusing Passive House, in Vienna, New York and Germany. The Bolueta is two metres\ntaller than the Passive House students\u2019 residence at Cornell Tech in Mahattan,\nNew York which opened in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is great news for the future of Passive House showing that apartments as well as houses can be built using Passive House. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The world\u2019s tallest Passive House project has been completed in Spain.
