PASSIVE ZERO
PASSIVE BUILDINGS ARE EFFICIENT, HEALTHY, AFFORDABLE, AND RESILIENT
Climate Resilience
From maintaining stable indoor temperature and comfort levels during extreme outdoor weather or power outages to using stronger & longer lasting materials that can withstand the test of time, Passive buildings are built for an ever changing future.
Efficient & Affordable Housing
Passive buildings use over 70% less energy than traditional buildings and in many places around the country, new multifamily Passive projects are being built at the same or near-same cost as non-passive projects.
Air Quality & Occupant Health
By keeping out pollutants and providing only fresh, filtered air, Passive buildings see dramatically lower levels of particulate matter, VOC’s, carbon dioxide, and other harmful chemicals - delivering exceptional levels of indoor air quality, improving occupant health and comfort.
Net-Zero Buildings
By first reducing the energy demand of our buildings through Passive design & construction and use of efficient mechanical systems, we can make is so that the the energy that is needed can be supplied by on-site solar. This is what true low-carbon, net-zero is all about.
Passive Zero offers education and consulting services for sustainable building design and construction, specializing in Passive House, Net-Zero, and Low-Carbon projects.
