Year-Round Comfort & Energy Efficient Living
Imagine living in a New Zealand home with no condensation and a constant temperature between 20-25 degrees in all of the rooms all year-round.
Sounds too good to be true right?
Wrong!
Passive House principles are a voluntary standard which is making Kiwi homes more livable.
Spend a Fraction of the Cost to Heat Your Passive House
Passive house construction offers a healthy living environment with just 10% of the heating or cooling bills of a standard New Zealand house. It's been estimated that lower power bills offset the increased mortgage costs month to month, leaving passive homeowners ahead.
High-Performance Houses
Too often the focus with standard New Zealand home builds is simply aesthetics, “How will my house look” rather than asking a really important question of “how will my house perform?”.
The answer to both questions is passive homes, they create an airtight envelope with efficient insulation and mechanical ventilation systems, as well as being architecturally pleasing.
Healthier Living
Advantages of a passive house include higher air quality and consistent interior temperatures.
The design includes an energy recovery ventilator which adjusts air daily depending on the number of people and activity levels in the building.
Basically, these act as the lungs of the house and help keep your home healthy and warm, no matter the season.
