A flexible approach to Passive House design means you can achieve a warmer, healthier, more energy-efficient home designed to balance performance and affordability.
By applying core Passive House principles to your design and build, you gain control over air movement, heat loss, moisture, indoor air quality, and energy costs – factors that often go unmanaged in traditional builds.
Three Performance Levels to Suit You
We offer three levels allowing you the flexibility to meet both your comfort goals and your budget.
At every level, key fundamentals like airtightness, insulation, ventilation, and moisture control remain central to the design. This ensures a healthy, energy efficient environment throughout the home, not just isolated “fixes” that can lead to unintended consequences. Our approach maintains a whole home focus that delivers lasting benefits.
What Changes Between Levels?
Our levels differ in terms of verification, certification, and performance prescription. For example, full Passive House certification requires meeting strict criteria, while other levels still maintain high standards without formal certification.
We also consider cost-saving strategies through design choices. For example, opting for simpler layouts or choosing uPVC windows over high-performance aluminium can offer better thermal performance for a slightly higher upfront investment. These are the kinds of informed trade-offs we help you navigate, whatever the level. Bearing in mind, there is less flexibility when certification requires strict performance standards.
To guide your decisions, two levels use thermal modelling to provide tangible, real-time cost-benefit insights, so you can see how each option performs, and what it means for your investment.
