Our Global Passivhaus Team

Our team can help you to identify your vision for a sustainable project

Our experts work with the project team to identify costeffective, low life cycle and durable building systems to suit each unique location and facility. Our goal is to apply as many passive building design approaches as possible to reduce the need for extensive mechanical building comfort systems and to increase indoor environmental quality. We seek to minimise system complexity and make best use of the local microclimate synergies. This requires technological innovation and the application of greater effort than what would be required for a reactive application of conventional building design and mechanical systems.
