When you say "humidity block" do you think that is the same thing as "vapor barrier"?

No, not passive house, but not too far away. The U value of my walls is about 0.15W/Km^2, which to my knowledge is the same as a passive house. In Germany a passivhaus makes more senes than here. It gets so cold here that a passive house just means less heating. We still need some heating here.
Vapor barrier! That sounds like the words I was looking for. Excellent!
I live close to Oslo, but a bit higher so subtract 2C from the Oslo temperatures. If you find the Heating Degree Days here, please let me know =)
Viking House:
Was there much icing in the heat exchangers when you had those really cold temperatures?
