Environmental mission and strategy (ESG)
Passive design: comfort, efficiency, & resilience
We bring Passive House principles to our projects with a deep understanding of space, light, and material to create ultra-energy-efficient homes and buildings that are comfortable and durable. Certified projects undergo third-party technical inspection to further verify energy and design performance. Tailored for Ontario's climate, our all-electric, low-impact spaces balance performance, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
Passive design principles:
Integrated process
Passive design integrates performance at every stage, aligning airtightness, insulation, and mechanical systems with the architectural vision for refined, high-performance buildings.
Thermal comfort
Super-insulated, airtight construction with passive heating and cooling creates stable indoor environments that stay comfortable year-round with minimal mechanical intervention. And yes, windows can be opened anytime!
Energy efficiency
Passive House buildings cut heating and cooling energy use by up to 90%, using fresh air systems, thermal bridge-free construction, and ultra-low-energy strategies to reduce environmental impact.
Daylighting optimization
Through strategic window placement, shading, and high-performance glazing, we design spaces where daylight becomes a defining feature, reducing artificial lighting needs and enhancing livability.
Material performance
We prioritize durable, low-carbon materials that enhance building performance and resilience, from high-performance insulation to responsibly sourced finishes.
Site & building connection
Effective site planning enhances building durability, comfort, and energy efficiency. Our designs optimize daylight, air circulation, and environmental integration to create sustainable, resilient spaces for both new builds and retrofits.
