Abstract The purpose of this study was to analyze the planning characteristics of timber passive house in foreign cases. The interests and demands about timber passive house have been increased in Korea. But The domestic research results and development experiences about timber passive house were lack. The results of this study were as follows; First, most of timber passive houses are built in warm temperate climate. Second, as a insulation material of timber passive house, cellulose was used the most and the depth of insulation was about 350-400㎜. Third, in principle there was no need of traditional heating facility in passive houses, but in practice traditional heating facilities were used additionally in about half of survey cases. Forth, many passive design techniques were applied in timber passive house : compact form, large south-facing window for solar heat, solar collectors on the roof, shadings for preventing of summer overheat, and so on.
