Passive Houses in Australia are a relatively new concept...

​

More than 65.000 houses are built across the world to the Passive House Principles.

​

Passive Houses can be built in all climate zones, from the Arctic to Tropical zones.

​

The PHPP (Software) uses the local climate data and adjusts the wall and roof thickness to suit.

​

In most areas of Australia, we are very lucky (as usual) so we do not need to build houses as they do in Northern America or Scandinavia.

​

The main principles of Passive Houses are:

​

• Good Insulation

• Good Windows

• Good Ventilation

• Good Airtightness

• Good buildings without thermal bridges

​

Passive Houses use, due to the 5 principles, less energy to heat and cool the buildings.

​

Gone are the days where UGG boots and Door Snakes are a part of the interior of a new dwelling. With a Passive House, you can enjoy the whole house without closing off half of your house in winter as it is too costly to heat up.
