All our homes are built to low energy European standards and follow the principles of Passive House design.

As standard:
40% greater insulation than NZ Building Code.
High Performance window joinery (uPVC) and glazing.
Reduced Thermal Bridging.
Airtightness - better than 0.65ACH Per hour. Our best result so far is 0.18ACH Per Hour.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system.

Our lead designer is Passive House Certified, along with members of our build team.

We can also offer fully certified Passive House builds - these are site specific and require further consultation with our qualified team.
