Passive House Performance
A Passive House is an energy-efficient home built, tested and certified to an internationally recognised building standard.
Certified Passive Houses use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to conventional homes. What’s more, they’re designed for optimal indoor air quality, consistent temperatures, and superior insulation, contributing to a healthier living environment. Passive House certification can even make your home more appealing when it comes time to sell.
SPENDING LIFE INSIDE YOUR PASSIVE HOME
Certified Passive Houses use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to conventional homes.
Comfort in every room
Constant temperature technology means that you can live in every room of an eHaus no matter the season. Every room is designed to operate between 20–25°c all year round.
Dry air that's easier to heat
We use MHRV - Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation systems that work efficiently in the background so you can breathe fresh air and stay warm while using less energy.
Fresh clean air for a healthy life
Bridge-free design prevents heat loss by eliminating weak points in the building structure.
Insulation matched to your climate
We use the right amount of insulation to match your regional climate. With a fully insulated slab, eHaus’ are made to keep more heat in, like a thermos flask.
Dry windows, sills and doors
Fitted with thermally efficient Low E & Argon gas windows that eliminate condensation, draughts and mould. Double or triple glazing also captures free solar energy and reduces heat loss.
Lower energy bills
A Passive House maintains a minimum temperature of 20°c using up to 15kWh per m2 for an entire year. Comparatively, a typical NZ standard code-built home would require at least 120kWh per m2 to maintain a similar temperature for a year.
