La norme de la maison passive ne concerne pas seulement l'efficacité énergétique, mais aussi la création d'un environnement intérieur confortable et sain. Les maisons passives sont bien isolées et étanches, et disposent d'un système de ventilation mécanique avec récupération de chaleur qui fournit une alimentation constante d'air frais et filtré. 3, record 1, French, - norme%20de%20la%20maison%20passive

There are several distinct categories into which passive systems may be divided. The first residence to which the name "solar house" was applied used a large expanse of south-facing glass to admit solar radiation into the house; it would be called a direct gain passive system. 3, record 2, English, - direct%20gain%20passive%20solar%20heating%20system

El sistema de construcción solar pasiva se está convirtiendo cada vez más en un estilo arquitectónico independiente, que está formalmente en la tradición del modernismo clásico y sus corrientes y recepciones, en la subordinación del diseño bajo lo apropiado (la forma sigue la función, la escultura permanece en el fondo). En el diseño de edificios solares pasivos, ventanas, paredes y pisos están hechos para recolectar, almacenar, reflejar y distribuir energía solar en forma de calor en el invierno y rechazar el calor solar en el verano. Esto se llama diseño solar pasivo porque, a diferencia de los sistemas de calefacción solar activa, no implica el uso de dispositivos mecánicos y eléctricos. 1, record 2, Spanish, - sistema%20solar%20pasivo%20de%20ganancia%20directa

The Habitat Holding Rack(HHR) is a host system that accommodates SSBRP [Space Station Biological Research Project] subrack payloads(that is, habitats) that house biological specimens(e. g. rodent, plant, insect, aquatic, egg, cell and tissue culture, etc.) in a low-acceleration environment on the International Space Station(ISS). The HHR provides the functional support services required by each subrack payload, including structural, mechanical, power, thermal conditioning, data, video, and command and control functions. The HHR also provides a passive vibration control system to protect the payloads from International Space Station(ISS) vibration. 2, record 4, English, - habitat%20holding%20rack
