High Performance Homes: Comfort, Efficiency, and Wellbeing Built In
What Is High Performance Building?
High performance building is about creating homes that go beyond the ordinary. To us, it means crafting spaces that are comfortable, durable, energy efficient, and healthy. These homes don’t just shelter you—they support your lifestyle, your wellbeing, and the environment.
So how do we achieve this?
We start with principles like solar passive design, early collaboration and careful thermal modeling to predict and optimise energy performance.
Understanding Passive House vs High Performance
A certified Passive House is a building that meets some of the strictest design and construction standards in the world. To call a home a Passive House, it must go through rigorous testing and certification. Without certification, it cannot be officially called a Passive House.
This is where the concept of high performance becomes important. A high-performance home can closely follow many Passive House principles without the exhaustive certification process. It can be just as efficient, durable, and comfortable, while offering more flexibility in design and construction.
As sustainable builders based in Geelong specialising in high performance construction, we see it as our responsibility to deliver homes that are durable, comfortable, and energy efficient. We believe every build should embrace these principles to provide the best outcomes for our client
Guidelines We Follow for Every High Performance Build
Before construction even begins, these guidelines form the foundation of our planning and collaboration. They guide decision-making and ensure every home meets a high standard of performance.
By integrating these elements from the start, we minimise surprises and ensure the finished home is efficient, healthy, and built to last.
Final Thoughts
Building a high performance home means committing to quality and sustainability at every stage. Whether or not your home is certified as a Passive House, adopting these principles brings you close to that standard and helps protect your investment for years to come.
