Select a Passive Living Feature

Passive Home living was developed around
the homes most important asset, which is you! We've identified that there's a severe shortfall when it comes to the optimal living standards that people endure within their homes on a daily basis. Given our cool to mild climate and how our European neighbors achieve these ideal living conditions relatively easily in extremes far greater than ours, well this

amazes us but it's all about to change!

Glorious winter sun penetrating deep within
a buildings interior to maintain a pleasant temperature on the coldest of days, taking benefit of those welcomed cool changes with prevailing breezes throughout the summertime or even just having those key living spaces which are heavily used by you and the family soaked
in natural light when it's needed are just some of the key features that will be standard on all
of our builds.

Cool in the Summer

This is easily achieved through expert guidance during the design stage. Clever features such as overhanging eaves, specific landscaping layouts, placement of windows and colour concepts all combine to form a properly functioning house as it should be.

• House isn't prone to overheating during summer

• Least expensive means of cooling
• No need to stress already overloaded grids in summer
• As climate change increases, your energy bill wont

Warm in the Winter

Maintaining a passive comfortable indoor living temperature throughout winter shouldn't come at the cost of excessive heating bills. The good news is that these principles can be incorporated into all builds and that you're not limited to any one design.

• Warm light filled areas
• Reduce mould and dampness
• Lower energy costs
• Renewable and everlasting heat

Natural Light

Passive Edge Homes creates an abundance of natural light within their desired spaces. By utilising the northern elevations where possible to situate the commonly used areas with clever placement of windows and shading devices this maintains a healthy level of light year round.

• Locks in thermal comfort for the life of the building
• Lower heating and cooling bills
• Lower greenhouse gas emissions
• Reduce demand on electricity requirements

Low Energy Costs

Passive Edge Homes perform better simply because they are better. By applying just one or all of the principles we have spoken about, this will not only have immediate effects on your energy consumption but it will greatly enhance your comfort of living.

• Reduce greenhouse gas omissions
• Reduce demand on fossil fueled burning power plants
• Limit the effects of global warming
• Very little energy is required to make a well designed house comfortable

House Layout

Climate responsive layout design should be everyones goal when it comes to the construction of new homes. Melbourne's climate generally only requires simple design adjustments which are often overlooked that can significantly reduces ones reliance on auxiliary heating and cooling.

• Cost effective opportunities for sustainable results
• Lifetime of thermal comfort
• Features can be adapted to any design
• Comfort levels are maintained year round
