Part of the core design of a Pasivhaus are walls, floors and ceilings that are supper insulated. There is also an attempt made to eliminate all thermal bridges. The Whistler Passivhaus walls and roof were built using prefabricated 10 cm thick solid wood panels that were also structural. On the outside of the wood panels was 36 cm of insulation for the roof and 30 cm for the walls. On the outside of the insulation was a breathable barrier, a venting space and then the cladding.
