03
Is Passive House construction more expensive than conventional construction?
For single-family homes, our Passive House design and construction process typically results in approximately 10% higher construction cost compared with conventional building. While this can increase the initial investment in the home, homeowners benefit over the long term from the many advantages of their Passive House home – including an 80–90% reduction in energy use for heating and cooling.
