Passive House

Passive House is an international standard known for its unparalleled energy performance, achieving up to 90% energy savings compared to conventional buildings. Developed through decades of building science and precision energy modeling, the Passive House approach prioritizes heat retention and optimal ventilation to create highly efficient, comfortable spaces. With a strict annual heat demand cap of 4.75 kBtu/sf, Passive House is one of the most effective routes to Net Zero energy performance, offering a long-term solution for sustainable living.

Energy Star Certified

Energy Star Certified homes deliver energy efficiency that is at least 15% better than standard new builds, with added measures boosting efficiency to a total of up to 30% over conventional homes. Each Energy Star home is verified independently to ensure adherence to this high standard, giving homeowners confidence in reduced energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint. These homes provide year-round comfort, lower utility bills, and a sustainable choice that positively impacts the environment.

LEED Assesed

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) is a globally recognized certification that sets the benchmark for sustainable building design. Buildings are evaluated on factors like water efficiency, energy optimization, sustainable materials, and indoor environmental quality, earning a certification level from Certified to Platinum based on performance. LEED-certified projects not only minimize environmental impact but also foster healthier living and working spaces, promoting overall well-being while supporting sustainability goals.
