Passive Profile

What is a Passive House?

A Passive House is a home designed and built for ultimate energy efficiency, comfort, and sustainability. Using advanced building techniques and high-performance windows and doors, Passive Houses maintain a consistent indoor temperature year-round—dramatically reducing heating and cooling costs while providing exceptional air quality and comfort.

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.
