What Is A Passive House?

Known as the world’s most energy efficient and health conscious voluntary building and design standard, Passive Houses achieve a high level of thermal comfort with minimal heating and cooling by using high performance, certified passive house windows and doors, insulation, airtightness, mechanical ventilation heat recovery which eliminates thermal bridging.

Passive homes consume 90% less energy compared with conventional building dwellings.

Developed in Germany in the 1990s, passive houses have seen a recent rise in builds in Australia. Since 2019, it’s become somewhat of a booming industry.

Dispelling earlier assertions that passive houses are only appropriate for colder climates, several buildings in Australia are now fully certified and classified as passive houses — keeping a comfortable indoor air temperature of 20°C and 25°C.

How Does A Passive House Work?

High Quality Insulation

Insulation works like a blanket that works to reduce the heat and cold that flows into your dwelling from the outside. Choosing a high quality insulation is extremely important when building a Passive House in order to eliminate the risk of condensation.

Air Tightness

An airtight, well insulated home will successfully retain any warmth or coolness generated and keep it from leaking air or draughts.

Eliminating Thermal Bridges

Thermal bridges refer to any points in the home that conduct heat or cold more quickly than others. In a Passive House, thermal bridges need to be eliminated meaning wherever there is a conductive material, it needs to be separated by non-conductive materials, to break the thermal bridge.

Residential Grade, Semi-Commercial and Commercial Aluminium Products are generally cheaper than uPVC in Australia. However, with the industry price rises in 2022 we have found that in some cases uPVC is becoming more competitive with Aluminium in pricing. We do not recommend using Aluminium products unless they are ‘Thermally Broken Aluminium Windows and Doors’ these are far more energy efficient than your Standard Aluminium Windows. However, they are not as energy efficient as uPVC Windows and generally cost more money than uPVC Windows as well.
10 Year Warranty is on all of our products.
