Passive House Standards represent one of the world’s most rigorous benchmarks in energy-efficient construction. At Enerwise, we take pride in building homes that drastically reduce energy consumption, ensure superior comfort, and leave a minimal environmental footprint—with an eye aesthetics and functionality.
Originating in Germany, Passive House Standards focus on airtight construction, extreme insulation, and optimized ventilation systems to achieve remarkably low energy usage. This approach doesn’t just save on heating and cooling costs; it also promotes a healthier indoor environment by maintaining consistent temperatures and improving indoor air quality.
Key Points:
- Super-Insulated Envelope: Utilizes high R-value insulation for walls, roofs, and floors.
- Airtight Construction: Minimizes unwanted drafts and energy losses.
- High-Performance Windows: Passive House rated windows utilize triple-pane or advanced glazing and construction methods to optimize thermal performance.
- Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV): An expertly designed HRV or ERV (energy recovery ventilator) ensures fresh, filtered air with minimal heat loss.
- Thermal Bridge-Free Design: Eliminates heat transfer points for peak energy efficiency.
At Enerwise, our expertise in cutting-edge building science is the knowledge required to meet or exceed Passive House Standards. We can guide you through every phase, from initial design to final certification, helping you optimize your home’s performance and comfort.
