To answer that briefly, let’s just say we can all agree that choosing a passive house builder Melbourne is not a game of angels versus demons. There are fantastic options on both sides, and what you should pay attention to is which fits better with your pocket and personal preferences when dealing in person. If you have an open budget, you might want to pick the team that guarantees best practices and the fastest construction times, but if you don’t, rest assured that a normal construction company will work just as well.

The characteristics that need to be taken into account for a house to be considered passive are:

All this together makes it so passive houses need 90% less energy. To put it into fewer words, once your house is finished, you want to look at it through a thermal camera, and what you want to witness is a steady color all throughout the house, with very little and almost unnoticeable changes of temperature in the edges of the windows. And you want to see this steady temperatures stay like that throughout the year, and be noticeable from the inside also. Temperatures need to be steady throughout the whole home, but please do not try and get that to be felt in the kitchen while you are NOT using the air extractor at the stove while cooking up steaks and eggs for the family and guests. In the end, the inhabitants ensure that the passive house stays low in environmental impact.
