At DVAD we believe in leaving a small footprint behind when we build. When it comes to residential construction the Passive House standard offers a tried-and-tested path to building a healthy, responsible and sustainable home.

​

In a Passive House the primary aim is to create an extremely well-insulated and tightly sealed home, and then to introduce constant fresh air through a high-efficiency heat recovery ventilation system. The reduction in heating and cooling requirements leads to a significant saving on the capital cost of mechanical equipment, as well as monthly savings on utility bills and all the benefits of a comfortable and healthy home environment.

When planning a new single-family home, we would encourage our clients to consider the benefits of the Passive House standard to see if it might be right for them.
