PASSIVHAUS

Passivhaus (or “Passive House”) is a smart, science-backed approach to building that focuses on comfort, energy savings, and air quality. Originally developed in Germany, it’s not a style or brand—it’s a set of design principles that any home can follow.
Imagine a house that stays warm in winter, cool in summer, and uses up to 90% less energy to run—that’s the Passivhaus difference.

—High-Performance Insulation – Like wrapping your home in a warm blanket, it keeps heat in during winter and out during summer.

—Airtight Construction – Minimises heat loss and eliminates cold drafts for more stable indoor temperatures.

—Optimised Windows – Double or triple-glazed to trap warmth and reduce heat gain.

—No Thermal Bridges – Careful detailing avoids cold spots where energy is typically lost.

—Fresh Air Ventilation – A quiet, filtered system brings in fresh air and removes stale air, improving comfort and health.

And yes—you can still open your windows anytime you like. The system just ensures your air stays clean and balanced, even when they’re closed.

—Lower Running Costs – Significantly reduce energy bills over the long term.

—Comfort All Year – Even indoor temperatures without hot or cold spots.

—Healthier Living – Fresh, filtered air 24/7—great for asthma, allergies, and overall wellbeing.

—Peace and Quiet – Airtight, well-insulated homes are noticeably quieter inside.

—Better for the Planet – With ultra-low energy use, it’s one of the most sustainable ways to build.

Yes. While retrofitting an existing home can be more complex, many of the same principles can still be applied—greatly improving your home’s performance, comfort, and efficiency. Whether you're updating one room or your entire house, we can help you integrate smarter, sustainable solutions.
