Net Zero Homes
Better net zero homes start with Passive House design
Net Zero Homes
With stricter energy-efficiency mandates on the horizon for 2030 and 2050, net zero standards will soon become the norm for building new homes.
Energy-Efficient Living
What is a net zero home?
Living sustainably starts at home. Net zero homes are designed to minimize energy consumption and utilize renewable resources to offset any remaining energy needs. This means a net zero home produces as much clean energy as it uses over a year, resulting in minimal environmental impact and potentially even net zero energy bills.
Designed for Sustainability
Reduce energy use for heating & cooling by 80–90%
Passive House is the highest voluntary energy standard for building. When correctly implemented, Passive House design results in incredibly energy-efficient homes that require up to 80–90% less energy for heating and cooling. This makes Passive House design ideal for building net zero homes, as it greatly reduces the amount of renewable energy required for the home to reach net zero.
Achieving net zero with Passive House design
More Efficient
Superior energy efficiency
Passive House prioritizes airtight construction, high-performance insulation, and strategic design to minimize heating and cooling needs. This dramatic reduction in energy demand makes it much easier to achieve net zero with renewable energy sources.
More Sustainable
Reduced reliance on fossil fuels
By minimizing energy consumption, Passive House homes significantly reduce reliance on fossil fuels for heating and cooling. This translates to a smaller carbon footprint and a healthier environment.
More Comfortable
Year-round comfort
Passive House design principles prioritize creating a comfortable living environment naturally. This means consistent, draft-free temperatures year-round without relying heavily on HVAC systems.
More Streamlined
Prefab advantages
Our Passive House–certified prefab panels are engineered for exceptional airtightness and insulation, ensuring consistent quality for peak energy efficiency while also minimizing construction waste.
