What Is A Passive House?
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, 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.
How Does A Passive House Work?
The Passive House Standard is set on 5 main principles that work together to create a beautiful home that is quiet, free from dust, mould and pathogens, costs almost nothing to run and minimises your carbon footprint.
High Quality Insulation
Insulation works like a blanket that reduces heat and cold flow from outside. High quality insulation is crucial for eliminating condensation risk in Passive Houses.
Air Tightness
An airtight, well-insulated home successfully retains warmth or coolness and prevents air leaks or draughts, maintaining consistent indoor temperatures.
Eliminating Thermal Bridges
Thermal bridges conduct heat or cold quickly. In Passive Houses, conductive materials must be separated by non-conductive materials to break thermal bridges.
High Performance Windows
Passive homes require certified double or triple glazed windows with thermally broken or non-conductive uPVC frames to maximize energy efficiency.
Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery
HRV Systems flush stale air out and replace it with fresh, filtered air while recovering heat or cooling, reducing pollutants and condensation risk.
