Sunnyvale Passive House - This modest sized home is big on energy savings.

What we immediately noticed when walking into this Passive House is the stillness and serenity of absolute silence. There is a feeling of immediate peace and relaxation as the home seemingly surrounds you with an envelope of quiet. How is this accomplished?

With incredible attention to insulation and air sealing, we were able to yield a very quiet home on a busy street. Robust high-performance walls, windows, and doors are crucial to Passive House energy performance while also dramatically reducing sound transmission from outside. Urban noise, passing trains, your neighbors' construction? No problem. Green building techniques and Passive House building are pure science, and we are proud that most of our team were trained and certified by the Passive House Institute in Germany.
