Known as the world’s most energy efficient and health conscious voluntary building and design standard, Passive Houses achieve a high level of thermal comfort with minimal heating and cooling by using high performance, certified passive house windows and doors, insulation, air tightness, and mechanical ventilation heat recovery which eliminates thermal bridging.
Passive homes consume 90% less energy compared with conventional building dwellings.
Developed in Germany in the 1990s, passive houses have seen a recent rise in builds in Australia. Since 2019, it’s become somewhat of a booming industry.
Dispelling earlier assertions that passive houses are only appropriate for colder climates, several buildings in Australia are now fully certified and classified as passive houses – keeping a comfortable indoor air temperature of 20°C and 25°C.
