The paper presents the results of a simulation study performed by means of the COMIS multizone infiltration and ventilation model. The simulations were carried out for a two-storey single-family passive-stack-ventilated house in a cold climate (Stockholm, Sweden). Main conclusions of the study include the following: it is possible - during at least 75 % of the heating season - to achieve a ventilation rate in the whole house of at least 0.5 ach or approx. 30 l/s only if the house has a leakage rate above approx.
