Passive House Approach & High-Performance Building

Designing buildings that are comfortable, efficient, healthy, and built to perform for decades.
We design and build high-performance homes guided by Passive House principles. Our approach prioritizes comfort, energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and long-term durability—resulting in buildings that perform exceptionally well in real-world conditions.

Core Principles of Passive House

client services
Super-Insulated Building Envelope

Our primary focus is client satisfaction. We want to build a relationship to help define your project goals and make them a reality. We'll be your single point from concept and completion.

Design
Airtight Construction

We leverage Design-Build as delivery method to reduce the burden on the project owner, foster collaboration and drive cost/time efficiencies.

Sustainability
High-Performance windows & Doors

Our goal is to reduce project resources on a square foot basis, utilize energy efficient materials and build for quality to increase longevity.

Why us?

Our High-Performance Building Philosophy

We believe a building should work with its environment, not against it. Our approach focuses on reducing energy demand first—through design and construction quality—before adding mechanical systems.
Every project is guided by:
  • Performance-driven design
  • Climate-responsive strategies
  • Attention to detail at every layer of the building envelope
  • Measurable results, not assumptions
Why us?

From Design to Construction

Our process includes:
  • Climate and site analysis
  • Energy modeling and performance targets
  • Detailed envelope and junction design
  • Coordination between architecture, structure, and services
  • On-site quality control and testing
We focus on buildability and real-world execution, not just theoretical compliance.
Why us?

Performance-Driven Results

  • Extremely low heating and cooling demand
  • Consistent indoor comfort year-round
  • Excellent indoor air quality
  • Reduced operational costs
  • Long-term durability and resilience
Even when full Passive House certification isn’t pursued, these principles guide our performance targets.
Super-Insulated Building Envelope
High levels of continuous insulation reduce heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.This keeps indoor temperatures stable and dramatically lowers energy demand.
Airtight Construction
A Passive House is carefully sealed to prevent uncontrolled air leakage.This improves energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality.
High-Performance Windows & Doors
Triple-glazed, well-installed windows and doors minimize heat loss while maximizing daylight.
Thermal Bridge-Free Design
Thermal bridges are weak points where heat escapes. We design details to minimize or eliminate them.
Balanced Ventilation with Heat Recovery (HRV/ERV)
Fresh air is supplied continuously through a mechanical ventilation system that recovers heat from outgoing air.
