The principles of Passivhaus represent the apex of sustainable design and development. Utilising readily available techniques, that have been available to us for over a quarter of a century, you are able to create truly energy efficient, comfortable, healthy and superior living + work spaces.

Passivhaus, also known as Passive House, is an advanced design methodology used in new construction projects to create exceptionally comfortable and healthy living and working spaces. The term 'haus' translates to 'building', indicating that these principles can be applied to both residential and non-residential structures.

Buildings certified as Passivhaus stand out for providing unparalleled occupant comfort while requiring minimal energy for heating and cooling. They are constructed with acute attention to detail, adhering to strict design and quality control standards as established by the Passivhaus Institute.

Compared to conventional new construction practices, Passivhaus buildings can achieve a reduction of over 75% in space heating requirements. This approach not only ensures incredibly comfortable environments but also offers significant reductions in energy costs, with potential savings of up to 90% on heating bills for occupants.
