PASSIVE HOUSE CONSULTANT/DEEP ENERGY RETROFITS
Certified Passive House Designers are qualified to design buildings to meet the Passive House standard, bringing with them specialized knowledge on how to execute new and retrofit projects.
We provide Passive House Designs where we work with the client, architect and builder to ensure buildings are being designed efficiently with respect to energy while creating a comfortable, healthy building for its occupants with minimal operating costs.
Perform building energy modelling to optimize the efficiency of the building in the most cost effective way.
Provide designs for net zero, net zero ready, low energy buildings and also existing building deep energy retrofits. By considering the long term end goal, and working within the client's budget and schedule, we aim to develop a practical stepped approach to improving a building's overall energy efficiency.
Our Passive House services include:
- Detailed energy modeling with the Passive House Planning Package software.
- Consulting with the project team during the design phase to ensure the Passive House standards are met.
