Building Drivers

Passive House is the most rigorous approach tackling this predicament and certifying it.

Building energy use is a major contributor to the climate change energy emergency.

Passivhaus performance

Passivhaus advantages

100% outside air with MERV13 filtrationmin 64°F surface temp = comfort

Thermal bridge free construction eliminates condensation

No MOLD!

Bathed in natural lightQuantum leap in energy efficiency

Rigorous quality control and verificationZero energy achieved with minimal expense

Passivhaus basics

Building design planned with a Certified Passive House Consultant

Design verified by PHIUS

Construction air-tightness verified

Post occupancy verification

If it’s not certified, it’s not a Passive House
