Making your house more comfortable with Passivhaus Design
We are a Certified Passivhaus design practice. Through Passivhaus design standards we are striving to make better spaces for our clients.
I believe Passivhaus is the best standard we can use to deliver healthy sustainable and economical buildings.
What is Passivhaus
Passivhaus is a German engineered energy standard for building to create ultra low energy use buildings with high performance health and comfort levels to combat the extremes of climate change.
The reality is we now spend 90% of our lives indoors and this refuge should be a healthy and comfortable environment. We aim to make this indoor environment the best it can be, this can be achieved and tracked with a Passivhaus certified building.
If you would like to find our more about designing a Passivhaus / passive house get in touch.
By living and working in a Passivhaus you will benefit from:
Constant thermal comfort, not too cold or hot.
Fresh air ventilation
High indoor air quality day and night, with no pollution or bushfire smoke infiltration, or worrying about street noise.
Boosted resilience in a heat wave – due to high levels of insulation and air tightness the building will take longer to heat up and is more efficient to cool.
Minimal energy bills – extremely low energy consumption. You can expect a 90% reduction in energy use in a certified passive house.
Dust and mould free interior – creating comfort for asthma and allergy sufferers
High quality construction
Secure building envelope – reduced threat from extreme weather such as heat waves, and intense storm events.
Quiet and peaceful spaces, high performance acoustic ratings perfect for high density living.
And No you don’t have to keep your windows closed all the time.
