Is this kind of design fit for non-german climates?

  From the article: > Some estimates suggest there are well over 50,000 Passivhaus buildings around the world. They have been successfully built in European climates, the US and Canada along with warm Asian climates where there is a requirement for cooling.

  Yes but the amount of insulation required to meet the requirement is climate dependent. That means that the building methods for achieving the requirement might not exist yet in some places in the world.

  The new Austrian embassy in Jakarta is Passivhaus certified, a first for that climate. http://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/news/detail/?nId=527 http://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/news/detail/?nId=527
