For this project, we wanted to test the market value of a Passive House compared to homes built with standard building methods. We chose to build on a lot in a small, new development with new homes of similar size and finish to our design. Although the cost to build was the same, it sold for more than the larger code-built house next door. We are happy with the result, proving that passive homes higher value is recognized in the market." ~ Natalie Leonard
A seamless blend of elegance and efficiency. With the total cost of the heating bills estimated at $250/year, this building is capable of exceeding the strict Passive House targets.
