“Passive House is a building standard that is truly energy efficient, comfortable and affordable at the same time. Passive House is not a brand name, but a tried and true construction concept that can be applied by anyone, anywhere.” – Passivhaus Institut
The aim of “Passivhaus” is to create a thermally competent envelope which uses free heat gains to minimize the space heating requirement. Passive house is the ultimate building for energy efficiency. Passive House designs are globally renowned for being the leaders in terms of energy performance. Passive House buildings are widely considered as being able to provide extreme comfort in a healthy interior climate. This is sustained without using heating or cooling systems.

Passive house construction presents one of the most economical methods of providing comfortable living and working environments. The “Passivhaus Institut”, Germany were rigorous in developing the Passive House Construction Standard. Passive House Builders are required to be strict in following these demanding specifications. Passive house designs must consist of outstanding levels of insulation with minimal levels of thermal bridging. Passive homes are required to have very little air leakage throughout, solar gain is utilized and mechanical ventilation is provided with competent heat recovery.

The Thermohouse modular building system consists of the following components:

Insulating Concrete Formwork – ICF Walls
Energy efficient floor system
Energy efficient roof system
Energy efficient ground floor insulation

They use reinforced concrete and EPS insulation in all their homes. The combined properties of these materials results in strong and efficient structures with a reduced impact on the environment and on your energy bills. Better still is that these homes can be built quickly and easily!

What is EPS?
Their energy efficient ICF wall, floor and roof components are composed of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS). EPS is a form of insulation made up of 98% air and 2% polystyrene making it an extremely lightweight material. It is highly durable and offers a minimum life span of 60 years. Most importantly, its immense energy saving insulation properties has the potential to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
