Passive House is a designation given to buildings to meet defined metrics for energy use and performance. These houses are constructed with super-insulation to create an air-sealed “envelope” that prevents loss of conditioned air and provides consistent temperatures and superior ventilation.

High Performance buildings are designed to maximize energy efficiency, minimize waste, and improve indoor air quality, ventilation, and temperature control.

A Net Zero house is designed to generate as much energy annually as it consumes. Features include airtight construction, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, and the use of renewable resources like solar panels.

Absolutely! Passive homes reduce energy usage by up to 90% compared to conventional home construction. They are well-insulated to minimize heat and cooling loss from thermal bridges, and are built to be climate resilient, resulting in lower maintenance costs.

Passive Houses and High-Performance buildings offer many benefits. In addition to reduced energy consumption, and cost savings, Passive Houses and High-Performance buildings provide improved indoor air quality and consistent, comfortable temperatures. Both are built to be low-maintenance, sustainable and climate resilient.

No, Passive Houses can be built in almost any design or style, whether constructed from wood, composite, or pre-fabricated panels.
