Passive House
What is the Passive House Standard?
Passive House is a construction standard for residential, commercial, or industrial projects, based on performance metrics – much like a building code. The 5 Pillars of Passive House Design/Build are guidelines to help explain the criteria in the performance standard:
- Entire envelope insulation
- Airtight construction detailing
- Renewed fresh filtered air
- Thermal bridge mitigation
- High-performance fenestration.
The result of a certified Passive House building is the assurance of a durable, comfortable, and healthy indoor environment. Whether you want to incorporate passive building principles, commission a boost report or go for full certification we are here to help!
While full Passive is not for everyone we love the science and incorporating passive details into each and every build. You'll thank us in the long run!
