What are you doing to create a more sustainable future?
We built a high-performance, healthy house built around Passive House principles, prioritising comfort, health, and energy efficiency. An airtight envelope, triple-glazed windows, thick insulation, reduced thermal bridges, slab edge insulation, and careful thermal decoupling work together to minimise heat loss. Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) delivers constant fresh, filtered air, while a hot water heat pump provides efficient, low-energy hot water, creating a comfortable, resilient, future home
What impact has your initiative had so far?
A high-performance home built on Passive House principles delivers year-round comfort, clean filtered air, and very low energy use. It cuts bills, improves health, reduces emissions, and shows how smart design can create healthier, future-ready homes.
