Sustainability & the
Passive House

The future is all about sustainability. To this end, we work towards the design and build of passive houses. All the work all goes in upfront and you get to enjoy the myriad comforts with little to zero maintenance.

ROI on high performance homes

Our focus on using heat pumps and underfloor heating, alongside an integrated heat recovery system for an airtight house, ensures that you enjoy a high-performing, comfortable and safe living environment. While the switch to a more sustainable home is a huge undertaking, the rewards far outweigh the initial cost and disruption. We’re confident you’ll agree that the return on investment (ROI) over the long-term is undeniable.

The Passive House

Sustainable design and construction results in what we call a Passive House. Saving up to 90% energy compared to traditional buildings, a Passive House is energy efficient and, due to proper insulation, offers superior comfort, airtight design and excellent air quality. Passive Houses consume minimal primary energy, reducing reliance on traditional resources, and significantly lowers environmental impact.

Despite high-quality components, Passive Houses are affordable due to the elimination of expensive heating and cooling systems. We uphold the Passive House standard, which results in the combined advantages of quality and comfort throughout the year.

Positively planet friendly

We provide 100% renewable and sustainable solutions for all our projects. Don’t just save energy with an upgrade, generate your own green electricity and sell it back to the grid. Also, imagine heating your home at zero cost and doing away with gas entirely.

We create homes that are not only immaculately presented but also planet friendly. We focus on green building practices and sustainable materials for minimal environmental impact and healthier living. By integrating modern, eco-friendly solutions into our builds, we guide you towards a greener home.

Ventilation & heat recovery

As our homes are built to be airtight, maintaining air quality is paramount. We incorporate mechanical ventilation and heat recovery systems (MVHRs) so that you can enjoy fresh air without the chill. Heat recovery systems, or mechanical ventilation, as they’re sometimes called, circulate fresh air, slightly warmed (if necessary), in order to maintain comfort and ensure a healthy indoor environment.
