WHY PASSIVE HOUSE?
The Passive House model provides a thoughtful and integrated design process and a detail oriented approach to construction that prioritizes a super-insulated, air-sealed envelope, natural light and solar heat gain through high performance triple pane windows, highly-efficient heating, cooling and fresh air supply systems, and minimal thermal bridges. This approach results in living spaces that are inherently more comfortable, durable, and consume dramatically less energy than a traditional home.
​
Passive House Buildings Achieve:
​
-
Up to 90% less energy usage
-
Healthy indoor air quality through filtered fresh air supply system
-
Consistent and comfortable room temperatures regardless of outdoor temperature.
-
Increased natural lighting
-
Quieter acoustic conditions due to deep, heavily insulated walls.
-
A more resilient and long lasting building
