At Giles Architects we are Certified Passive House Designers.
We understand the importance of reducing our carbon footprint and maximizing energy efficiency. By utilizing the principles of passive house, we can help you create a home that is meticulously designed to minimize energy consumption while maximizing comfort.
A passive house design takes a holistic approach, focusing on proper insulation, airtightness, and efficient ventilation systems. This means that your home will require significantly less energy for heating and cooling, resulting in reduced energy bills year-round. Passive houses use up to 90% less energy compared to conventional homes.
One of the key advantages of passive house design is its ability to maintain a consistently comfortable indoor environment. Thanks to the combination of high-quality insulation materials, airtight construction, and energy recovery ventilation, your home will have a constant supply of fresh, filtered air, while also retaining a stable indoor temperature throughout the year.
Passive house design is not limited to a specific architectural style. Whether you envision a new-build contemporary home or an extension and retrofit of your existing home, our team of certified passive house designers will work closely with you to create a home that meets your design brief, while always adhering to the rigorous standards of passive house.
