Passive House and High Performance Design

IMG_7935[1]_edited.jpg

Climate zones of the world

-The air quality is superior due to airtight construction and high a quality HRV

-The building is more durable as the structure is insulated from temperature extremes

-Sunlight is used in part to heat the building

-Added costs of insulation windows etc. can be offset by design changes and savings on HVAC

-Reduced emissions from the building are better for the environment.

-More sustainable building materials are used wherever possible

Benefits

-Insulation amounts are suited to our climate that see 70 degree celsius temperature swings

-Owners save 60- 90% on energy bills that are increasing every year

-Better resale value and will likely be the norm for the building standard in the near future

-Better insulation and windows mean less noise from outside (vehicles and a.c. units)

-Eliminates hot and cold spots inside
