Why Passivhaus

A Certified Passivhaus, carefully designed and built by professionals qualified in Passivhaus design, provides many benefits:

• ultra low fuel bills and much less exposure to energy price rises
• unrivalled indoor comfort - no drafts or cold spots in winter
• cooler indoor temperatures in summer
• improved indoor air quality bringing many potential health benefits
• quieter indoor space when the triple glazed windows are closed
• better use of your available floor space - no radiators
• lower maintenance costs - less technology to go wrong
• greater building fabric durability
• huge variety of styles, layouts and materials that can be employed

We offer an integrated design, energy modelling and build service. By working as a single team with carefully selected partners, we have better control of quality and can optimise the design's construction costs and energy performance. Our one-stop-shop service also makes for a less stressful experience for the client as they have fewer parties to deal with.

Although Passivhaus is new to the UK, we already have a track record in delivering beautifully designed and crafted homes, and of designing and building to the Passivhaus standard. Our designers and modellers are fully trained and certified by the Passivhaus Institut. Low energy buildings are sometimes loosely described as 'Passivhaus' but by choosing a Certified Designer, such as Passivhaus Homes, you can be sure you will get a genuine Passivhaus.
