We are a Certified Passivhaus design practice. Through passivhaus standards we are striving to make healthier 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.
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 Passive House certified building.
By living and working in a Passivhaus you benefit from:
Constant thermal comfort, not too cold or hot.
Superior air quality day and night, with no pollution or bushfire smoke infiltration.
Boosted resilience in a heat wave – due to optimum levels of insulation and air tightness, so the building will take longer to heat up and is efficient to cool down.
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, with performance certified windows.
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.
