Make informed choices for your passive house build
Planning a passive house requires making early decisions to integrate energy efficiency and sustainability into the design. Designers, architects and builders apply passive house principles to meet insulation, airtightness, ventilation and thermal performance standards. Passive Houses connects homeowners and developers with professionals who guide them through the design and construction process.
Work with designers and builders who will help you decide on wall materials, floor construction and building orientation, among other considerations, during the initial design phase. Proper orientation increases sunlight exposure in winter and provides shade in summer to reduce energy consumption. Local weather data and soil tests help adapt the design to site conditions. Councils and surveyors require clear communication to ensure compliance with regulations and passive house standards.
Selecting the right products affects energy efficiency and indoor air quality. Builders must choose appropriate windows, doors, membranes and ventilation systems to maintain airtightness and thermal performance. Passive Houses will help you find certified materials and suppliers. We will also help you understand costs, benefits and installation requirements so you can help your passive house builder to balance performance with your budget. Read More
