Passive Homes
Dreaming of a home that is super energy efficient, quiet and has a constant circulation of fresh, healthy air? If you’re sick of skyrocketing energy bills and want to breathe easy at home, building a passive house may be the answer.
Why Build a Passive House?
A Passive House is designed to have a stable indoor temperature of between 20oC and 25oC all year round. Passive houses need very little energy to heat or cool and have clean filtered air constantly circulating throughout the house.
Passive houses are renown for being comfortable and healthy to live in and cheap to run.
It’s important to know that passive houses don’t have to be built from scratch, existing homes can be renovated to passive house standard too. You can read more about passive houses by clicking here or watching the short video below.
