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 a scientifically proven design tool for new build projects that achieves exceptionally comfortable and healthy living and working conditions within our built environment. The word ‘haus’ directly translates to building, meaning the same principles are able to be applied to non-residential schemes also. 

Passivhaus certified buildings provide the highest level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous design and construction quality control and assurance processes,  in line with the principles, tools and training developed by the Passivhaus Institut.

Passivhaus buildings achieve over 75% reduction in space heating requirements, when compared to current standard practices for new builds. It can help create exceptionally comfortable buildings, that are unrivalled in quality, while also delivering up to 90% cuts in occupants’ fuel bills.
