PASSIVE HOUSE BUILDERS:  ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMES IN MUSKOKA

We are passive house builders in Muskoka offering energy-efficient home construction.

PASSIVE HOUSE & ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOMES

Classic Muskoka Homes is trained by the Canadian Passive House Institute in the methods of Passive House design & construction, as established by the PassivHaus Institut (Germany).

Homes built to the Passive House construction standard are designed to eliminate energy input to the greatest degree possible for their full operating lifespan.

This is achieved primarily by implementing extremely high levels of air-sealing and thermal insulation with novel construction techniques and building assemblies.

An ultra high-performance heat-recovery ventilator (HRV) is also required for the Passive House to minimize the heat energy lost by outdoor ventilation air delivery to the interior during cold winter weather.

We have the capability to deliver on the full scope of work for your Passive House, or energy-efficient home build in Muskoka, including knowledgeable and focused coordination of the work through every phase.

Does building to the Passive House standard make sense for your project?  Contact us to discuss how we can deliver on your project's goals.
