The most eco-friendly choice
Passive Houses offer remarkable overall efficiency and durability, using 70%-90% less energy than conventional constructions. Since heating is the largest contributor to energy consumption, this level of savings significantly reduces global energy and carbon footprints.
01
ENERGY BALANCE
The Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) is a design tool primarily used to model the energy balance of a building to meet Passive House standards.
PHPP is used to design a passive house to achieve the lowest possible heating/cooling demand. A successful design can be validated by balancing heat gains and losses — through manipulation of the building envelope design, the building site orientation, and the air exchange techniques.
02
HIGHEST-QUALITY CONSTRUCTION
Building to the highest standards minimizes environmental impacts by ensuring:
-
Measured performance matches design specifications.
-
Recurring embodied energy costs are reduced by extending the life of building components.
-
Landmark Passivhaus’s meticulous planning reduces waste and rework during construction.
03
REDUCE EMBODIED ENERGY
-
As homes become more energy-efficient, embodied energy plays a more significant role in their lifecycle. Landmark Passivhaus homes are designed to minimize embodied energy by making thoughtful choices about construction materials, sourcing, transportation, and the building process itself.
