Energy efficiency

The Passivhaus standard means an energy-efficient way of construction. These dwellings make the most of natural light, they are noise isolated and provide great indoor air quality and humidity control, always having an optimal temperature inside. Passivhaus criteria use the minimum amount of energy in order to get high comfort and wellbeing. This constructive system reduces energy use up to 90% when compared to a modern conventional dwelling, meaning significant economic savings. The air in these dwellings is always clean and allergen-free, and the users feel healthier and more productive. The dwellings require lower maintenance and have a low environmental impact, helping to reduce CO2 emissions.
