Solar Knight logo

Passive homes are designed to be so energy efficient that they do not need to have normal heating and cooling systems !  There is an air exchange system that brings in fresh air but keeps the heat in the houses.  This efficiency is achieved without compromising the comfort or looks.

" ....  refers to a ... ultra-low energy construction standard developed over the past twenty years by the PassivHaus Institut in Germany. ..."
