What It Means to Be Passive House Certified
Passivhaus certification is recognised globally and ensures that we are qualified to design and build high-performance buildings that are exceptionally efficient.
As Passive House Institute-certified builders, we take pride in producing a standard of work that embodies comfort, quality, and energy efficiency. Eco-friendly Passive Houses require significantly less energy to achieve and maintain a comfortable temperature year-round, making standard air conditioning and heating systems largely unnecessary.
What is a Passivhaus Building?
Passivhaus buildings, also known as Passive Houses, are the gold standard in energy efficiency, designed to minimise heat loss and maximise thermal comfort. These eco-friendly properties are built with airtightness in mind, utilising triple glazing, superior insulation, and highly efficient ventilation systems.
Whether you’re constructing a new home or seeking an upgrade, a Passivhaus structure ensures a sustainable build that maintains a consistently comfortable indoor environment throughout the year with minimal energy consumption.
