Passive and Sustainable Custom Homes

A passive home is designed to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round through careful attention to planning and orientation, insulation, airtightness, glazing, and ventilation, reducing reliance on mechanical heating and cooling.

Passive homes focus on energy performance and thermal comfort, while sustainable homes take a broader approach that may also include renewable energy, water efficiency, low-impact materials and environmental considerations.
