What Is A Passive House?

A Passive House, also known as Passivhaus, is an advanced standard for energy-efficient building design and construction. It originated in Germany and has gained popularity worldwide due to its exceptional performance and significant environmental benefits. The key principle behind a Passive House is to create a comfortable living space that drastically reduces the need for traditional heating and cooling systems, resulting in minimal energy consumption.

​

Why Choose a Passive House?

There are numerous advantages to choosing a Passive House for your construction project:

• Energy Efficiency: Passive Houses use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to conventional buildings. This translates to substantial energy savings and a reduced carbon footprint.

• Superior Comfort: With superior insulation and airtight construction, Passive Houses maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature throughout the year. Say goodbye to drafts and temperature fluctuations.

• Improved Indoor Air Quality: Our Passive Houses include a state-of-the-art ventilation system that continuously provides fresh, filtered air, ensuring excellent indoor air quality.

• Environmental Responsibility: Passive House construction aligns with a commitment to environmental sustainability. It contributes to reduced greenhouse gas emissions and supports global efforts to combat climate change.

• Long-Term Savings: Although initial construction costs can be slightly higher, the long-term energy savings make Passive Houses a cost-effective choice. You'll enjoy reduced utility bills for years to come.
