What every Quantum home ships with as standard

None of this is an upgrade package. Every model below arrives with the same Passive House building fabric and the same all-electric mechanical systems — the performance is in the base home, not in the options list.

The Quantum QTL finishes guide
Quantum QTL — standard finishes

The finishes are chosen too. And every one of them can change.

Every model ships with the Quantum QTL finishes package — flooring, cabinetry, counters, tile, fixtures and hardware, already specified so nothing stalls while a decision gets made.

Any of it can be swapped. Replace a finish, a fixture or the whole palette through a change order and the build carries on.

Why the building envelope matters

Why high-performance prefab wall panels perform differently

Every Quantum home begins with a high-performance building envelope made from precision-manufactured prefab wall panels.

Compared with conventional code-minimum wall assemblies, our panelized system is designed to deliver deeper insulation, better airtightness, more consistent construction quality and improved cold-climate performance.

Conventional code-minimum wall

Traditional wall construction

Conventional site-built wall assemblies can meet code requirements, but performance depends heavily on detailing, workmanship and site conditions.

  • Higher Energy Bills More heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
  • Less Comfortable Drafts, temperature swings, and cold spots.
  • Lower Indoor Air Quality Air leakage allows dust, allergens, and moisture to enter.
  • Longer Build Times Weather delays can slow construction.
  • More Maintenance Greater risk of moisture damage, mold, and premature wear.
  • Lower Long-Term Value Performance may not meet the expectations of future buyers.
  • More Noise Transfer Thinner assemblies allow more outdoor noise to enter.

What homeowners say about living in a Passive House home

Discover why homeowners choose Passive House construction for greater comfort, healthier indoor air, lower energy costs, and long-term durability.

“Good for us and good for the earth.”

We chose Quantum Passivhaus because integrity is important to us. We weren't just building a house, we were building a way of life, and a connection with the earth.

We've lived in the house over 7 years now and still appreciate the comfort it offers — consistent temperatures from room to room, clean, fresh air, and no cold floors or drafts. During an ice storm, we went 11 days without power and barely lost any heat. The house just works, and our energy costs are much lower than what we were used to.

We feel very fortunate to have this beautiful home. It's good for us, good for the earth, and good for our pocketbook. We highly recommend this company.

Marci Mandel and Alan Clark Marci Mandel & Alan Clark Quantum homeowners since 2018

“The biggest difference living here is comfort.”

Our energy costs are dramatically lower than before, but more than that, the house just feels good. Everyone who stays here says they sleep incredibly well.

Gail and Mike Holness Gail & Mike Holness Quantum homeowners

“It feels like a cocoon for our family.”

The house is incredibly quiet, consistent from room to room, and the air feels clean. There's very little dust, and the comfort is something you notice every day.

Kathy and John Sprowl Kathy & John Sprowl Quantum homeowners

“I don't understand why everyone doesn't build to this standard.”

From a cost perspective, it was basically the same as building a traditional house at the time, but the efficiency is far better. Everything here is electric, and we only have one bill.
