PASSIVhaus

Passivhaus (otherwise known as 'passive house') is a world-recognised rigorous design and construction methodology originating in Germany.  It utilises building science to ensure comfortable, high-performing buildings.  

Key components of passivhaus include: super-insulated envelopes, airtight construction, high-performance window glazing and heat recovery ventilation.  A quality assurance process is undertaken with certification requiring assessment and endorsement by an independent Passive House Certifier.

As such, it outsurpasses the baseline construction provisions of the Australian Standards and National Construction Code (NCC). 

With a passive house, you can be confident of a mould-free environment, a comfortable ambient temperature year-round, clean air, and a long-lasting, durable construction.
