Living Green.

The goal of building High Performance properties is to reduce energy usage and increase the use of sustainable materials.  Air tight construction is of primary importance, we work to limit the volume of air infiltration, provide exceptional insulation, healthier buildings and reduse annual energy useage.

Passive House is both a building energy performance standard and a set of design and construction principles used to achieve that standard. The passive house standard is the most stringent building energy standard in the world: buildings that meet the standard use 80 percent less energy than conventional equivalent buildings, and provide superior air quality and comfort.


A systems-based design strategy carefully models and balances a comprehensive set of factors including heat emissions from appliances and occupants--to keep the building at comfortable and consistent indoor temperatures throughout the heating and cooling seasons. Continuous mechanical ventilation of fresh filtered air, assures superb air quality.
