Frequently Asked Questions
What is a passive house?
A passive house is a building designed with superior insulation and airtightness, dramatically cutting heating and cooling energy needs compared to a conventional building.
What is the payback period for a 150 square meter house with a 15 percent cost premium?
With a $1,500 per square meter build cost and $2,000 regular annual heating cost saving 75 percent, the extra $33,750 investment pays back in about 22.5 years.
Is a passive house always worth the extra upfront cost?
It depends on local climate, energy prices, and how long you plan to own the home, since the extra cost is only recovered gradually through lower heating bills.
