A passive house is a voluntary standard, a construction concept that focuses on the overall building envelope to deliver a healthy home. It is one of the highest standards of quality a building can achieve. Passive house buildings are designed to be resilient to the harshest climates and temperature peaks, and comfortable all year round.
Air Quality
Good indoor air quality is essential for people living with allergies. Passive house buildings utilises a continuous low-volume ventilation system that provides fresh air to living spaces while also extracting stale air and internal airborne toxins within the building.
Sustainability and Affordability
Massive house buildings are environmentally friendly and sustainable as they use very little energy coming from renewable resources. Passive house buildings provide long-term cost savings with reduced energy costs. Investing in high-quality building components required by the passive house standard will mitigate any rise in gas and electricity consumption during the hotter and cooler months.
Peace and Quiet
Using high-performance windows and heavily insulated doors and walls greatly reduce the volume of external street noises and other outdoor sounds.
