The second Passive House in Quebec to be certified, it is also one of the most efficient.
The passive house on the edge of the small village of Abercorn in the Eastern Townships, already LEED Platinum, has just been awarded certification by the Passive House Institute US (PHIUS). With four bedrooms on a total of 1980 sq. ft., the house is ideal for comfortable family living.
The final cost of the house is around 15% more than a conventional building of the same size (including the price of certification, inspections and modeling). Its heating demand is 22 kWh/m2. year.
