For passive houses, the installed power may not exceed 10 W per square meter (heating load). Better thermal isolation results in a lower heat demand. A normally heated house will easily need 20 - 35 kW peak power during the coldest days of the year. For low energy houses, 10 kW usually suffices. Passive houses need only 1-2 kW. Therefore, the house will easily become too hot when installing a stove or fireplace in a low energy or passive house.
