EVERY BUILDING HAS A PURPOSE, A LIFESPAN, AN ENERGY FOOTPRINT, A QUANTITY OF OCCUPANTS IT SERVES, A VOLUME IT OCCUPIES, A LAYOUT AND FLOW IN USE, AN AESTHETIC IMPRESSION, AND —AND MOST OF ALL— A QUALITY OF LIFE IT WILL DELIVER TO ITS INHABITANTS. WE BELIEVE THAT HOMES THAT CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY IN ALL THESE WAYS ARE THE ONLY ONES WORTH BUILDING. BY BUILDING A LANDMARK PASSIVEHAUS TO THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE STANDARD, WE ARE CHANGING THE BUILD...
Affordable to build... Inexpensive to run
To build Passive there is a initial 5-10% cost premium, however the enormous energy savings (70-90%) recover that additional cost in short order.
Simpler to operate
Passivehaus eliminates the need for complex heating and cooling systems and the problems associated with their maintenance, repair and upkeep — yeilding significant long-term cost savings when compared to other constructions. The end result: a hassle-free home-owning experience.
Built to last
A Landmark Passivehaus Certified home is built to the most rigorous standards, using the best materials and components, and the most advanced construction techniques... and a built-to-last philosophy that produces century quality. The result: the best long-term value for a home.
