Haven't caught on to the attraction of the PassivHaus standard myself. The standard I want my home to meet is the most sustainable energy required to keep me the most comfortable at the most affordable cost with the least amount of my personal leisure time needed to maintain it. All the passive house homes I have toured, though impressive, have all been far outside "affordable" housing prices. When they include a realistic "cost factor" in the standard it might have some worldwide value IMO.
