Melbourne’s Leading Passive House Builder
Passive Houses make efficient use of the sun, internal heat sources and heat recovery, rendering conventional heating systems unnecessary throughout even the coldest of winters. During warmer months, Passive Houses make use of passive cooling techniques such as strategic shading to keep comfortably cool.
Our Passive Houses allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical buildings and over 75% compared to average new builds.

Principles of Passive House
Insulation
Sufficient insulation in the building envelope to ensure separation between the conditioned internal environment and the outdoors.
High Performance Windows
Well sealed, openable, low-emissivity, double or triple glazed windows that are sized appropriately to each orientation.
Heat Recovery Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation unit to ensure a constant source of filtered fresh air, while maximising efficiency by recovering heat and coolth that would otherwise be wasted.
Air Tightness
Draught-free construction with very limited gaps and cracks in the building envelope to maintain conditions in the internal environment and significantly improve thermal comfort.
Thermal Bridge Free
Continuous insulation, minimising penetrations through the envelope, using materials that are less conducive to heat and incorporating thermal breaks.
