1) Efficiency from the start: the Passivhaus standard
Our buildings have been designed to the Passivhaus standard, an international benchmark for efficiency and comfort. That means far greater control over the building’s energy demand, keeping the interior stable and comfortable all year round.
Living in a Passivhaus space means enjoying a bright, efficient and healthy environment, without giving up style or comfort. Here, every detail is designed to make your day-to-day more sustainable without any effort on your part.
✔ Natural comfort all year round
The indoor temperature stays stable with no need for intensive heating or cooling systems. No stifling heat in summer, no uncomfortable cold in winter.
✔ Clean, healthy air
Mechanical ventilation with heat recovery renews the air constantly without losing energy. It is like always having the windows open, but with no noise, dust or pollution.
✔ Real energy savings
A Passivhaus building uses less energy than conventional construction, thanks to the material used for the external insulation and to high-performance external doors and windows.
✔ Quiet and wellbeing
The high level of insulation does not only conserve energy, it also shields you from outside noise and creates calm spaces that invite rest and concentration.
