WHY PASSIVE HOUSE?
Are you looking for a space designed to withstand extreme weather?
Do you want your home to be free of dust, moisture, bugs, mold, and allergens?
Would you love a quiet space blocking noise from the outside world?
How about a home consistently delivering fresh air while filtering out allergens, pollution, and even wildfire smoke?
Would you like to learn about the benefits of Passive House and the building science behind it?
We invite you to join us on this journey of discovery.
Passive House is the highest building performance standard that prioritizes energy efficiency while providing superior indoor comfort and air quality.
By focusing on meticulous design and construction techniques, Passive Houses dramatically reduce the need for heating and cooling, resulting in lower energy consumption and a more comfortable living environment.
This approach integrates well-insulated building envelopes, airtight construction, and high-performance windows to create a space that’s not only eco-friendly but also incredibly resilient.
WHAT IS PASSIVE HOUSE?
“If the buildings consume very little energy, then this low energy demand can easily be met through renewable energy.”
- Dr. Wolfgang Feist, Founder of Passive House Institute
Using the Home Energy Rating System (HERS), we can assess a home's energy efficiency relative to a similar reference home, with lower scores indicating higher efficiency.
A Passive House is at least 70% more efficient than a contemporary home (HERS 100) and can achieve net-zero energy (HERS 0) with renewable sources like PV.
