Passive House
5 principles of passive house construction
Super-insulated building envelopes
Airtight construction
High-performance glazing
Thermal bridge-free detailing
Heat recovery ventilation
Energy Efficiency
Designed and built to drastically reduce energy use.
HEALTH
Fresh, clean, filtered air free of dust particles, with effective condensation management.
COMFORT
Consistent room and surface temperatures throughout the home, with little to no need for mechanical heating or cooling.
Weather-Tight Structure
Passive house standards demand a weather and airtight structure, ensuring durability for decades to come.
Sustainability
Requires less energy to operate and lasts longer than conventional homes, reducing the carbon footprint over time.
quiet
The airtight membrane, robust thermal envelope, and high-performance windows create a whisper-quiet interior compared to conventional homes.
proven
Passive house certification is a rigorous process, with design, delivery, and performance measured at multiple stages, culminating in certification by the Passive House Institute. Unlike standard construction, it’s thoroughly tested.
Collaboration
Achieving passive house standards requires a team effort - designers, trades, and builders working together to deliver a high-performance, long-lasting home. No shortcuts, just shared commitment.
