Passive House – Building Science for Ultimate Comfort & Energy Efficiency
Passive House represents the gold standard in energy-efficient construction, creating buildings that require minimal energy for heating and cooling while delivering exceptional comfort and indoor air quality. This rigorous, performance-based approach focuses on optimizing the building envelope through superior insulation, airtightness, thermal bridge-free design, high-performance windows, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery. The result is a healthy, comfortable living environment that reduces energy costs by up to 90% compared to conventional construction while providing resilience against extreme weather and climate fluctuations.
