Building upon Passive House principles
Certified” Passive House (or “Passivhaus”) standards can seem unrealistic and unattainable for many. At TrueLine, our commitment to better homes drives us to integrate these essential elements into our builds. We tailor our products to your preferences and needs and are designed specifically for the Perth climate.
Key elements of passive houses design, Australia
Passive house standards can be incorporated into your building. Promoting an energy-efficient, sustainable building design.
TrueLine Homes specialises in integrating key elements of Australian passive house designs into our builds. We focus on enhancing energy efficiency, superior insulation, and overall comfort.
We have a wealth of experience with constructing these passive house buildings. We deeply understand how they perform, backed by our knowledge of building science.
Our hands-on experience has given us valuable insights. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t, and we consider and plan your high-quality home build with this expertise in mind.
Below are the key components of Passive House Australia builds:
Thermal insulation
Continuous thermal insulation ensures optimal temperature control and energy efficiency within the home.
High-performance glazing (windows and doors)
Carefully selected high-performance windows and doors, with double or triple glazing, have many benefits. It provides a balance of solar heat gain in winter.
While mitigating unwanted heat gain in the summer, this is optimised through calculation rather than principles.
Airtightness
Airtightness prevents air leakage, helping minimise air loss at an optimal temperature. Airtightness also reduces the need for excessive extra heating and cooling.
Ventilation with heat recovery
A mechanical ventilation system called passive solar heat ensures a constant supply of fresh air. While reclaiming the heat from the outgoing air in winter, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment without compromising energy efficiency.
Elimination of thermal bridges
The integrity and insulation of the rest of the house are improved by eliminating thermal bridges in living spaces.
