Passive House
Footprint
-
Passive House, a building standard that is truly energy efficient and reduces a buildings ecological footprint, resulting in heating and cooling savings of up to 90%.
-
Using Passive House methodology, we perform detailed thermal calculations on every junction of the building. Design is then adjusted through this analysis allowing us to reduce, or eliminate, energy loss in the most cost effective manner; a process known as Thermal Bridge Reduction.
-
Passive House buildings are also considered "Solar Ready" in terms of having the ability of being Net Zero with the use of solar panels.
-
Each Building is custom designed to meet your requirements and the requirements of the site's geographic location. We take into consideration shading from neighboring buildings, cardinal direction, use of foliage, and other shading devices. This helps optimize solar gains and losses to achieve optimal energy conservation.
