While creating aesthetically pleasing homes here in Tauranga, Bay of Plenty is a core part of what we do, we are equally passionate about how your home performs once you live in it. A high performance home is designed and built to efficiently provide a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment for its occupants. Performance homes stay cooler in summer and warmer in winter, maintain a continuous supply of fresh air, and consume less energy overall.
To achieve this, there are numerous design, building, and material choices that can contribute to a home’s energy efficiency. These elements focus on four key performance characteristics: insulation, ventilation, solar gain, and heating. Each of these components plays a critical role in enhancing your home’s comfort and sustainability.
For those seeking the highest standard, a certified Passive House goes a step further. These homes meet stringent criteria based on energy consumption while applying the same core principles of high performance. We are certified Passive House builders and can bring passive principles and methodologies to your build at various levels (depending on the specifics of your project).
Performance homes significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Homes that are low energy or even net-zero demand fewer carbon emissions over their lifetime compared to buildings with poor thermal envelopes. Additionally, buildings designed with durable materials require less maintenance over time, contributing further to their sustainability.
Depending on your site, there are well-established construction methods that can add exceptional value to your home.
