What Makes Passive House Exceptional?

Passive House is the gold standard in energy-efficient construction worldwide. This innovative approach relies on advanced design techniques, top-quality windows, superior insulation, and heat recovery ventilation systems. The result? Homes that consume up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to traditional builds.

Unmatched Comfort and Efficiency

A Passive House's airtight, highly insulated thermal envelope maintains consistent indoor temperatures—keeping the warmth in during chilly Northern Colorado winters and blocking heat out during sweltering summers. This dramatically reduces the need for conventional heating and cooling systems.

Fresh, filtered air circulates continuously, ensuring excellent indoor air quality and a comfortable living environment year-round. Even the heat generated by appliances and people contributes to keeping the space warm in colder months.

What Does the Passive House Certification Cover?

The Passive House certification provides in-depth training on key principles, including:

  • Fundamentals of Passive House design and construction.
  • Achieving airtightness for enhanced energy performance.
  • Efficient thermal insulation and minimizing thermal bridges.
  • Selecting and installing high-performance windows.
  • Understanding ventilation, heating, and cooling basics.
  • Streamlining the construction process for Passive House projects.

Earning this certification equips professionals with the expertise to create homes that not only meet but exceed the highest standards of energy efficiency and comfort.
