A healthy environment is at the core of Passive House and starts on the inside of the home. With a continuous supply of fresh filtered air, indoor pollutants, allergens, and VOC’s are eliminated while maintaining healthy indoor humidity without the damaging effect of condensation. On a broader scale, our planet faces its biggest challenge in unprecedented climate changes. The rise in CO2 levels around the world are directly linked to the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation and increased methane. In the US, buildings account for nearly 40% of all CO2 emissions, almost twice that of automobiles.

It’s no surprise the European Union studied the 30+ year track record of Passive House before ratifying a binding agreement that requires all new construction to be near net zero by 2020. With unlimited design possibilities, the Passive House concept can be applied to any building type, in any climate zone, and in both new and retrofit applications. Passive House has set the standard for energy efficiency and sustainable living in the 21st Century.
