Healthy, warm and wise passive house design by EcoBuild

Tightly engineered houses that use the latest high-performance technologies are the way forward for the building industry. These homes dramatically cut power bills and ensure a healthy, comfortable lifestyle.

Baden Brown, certified Passivhaus designer and award-winning home builder, and Jon Iliffe, certified Passivhaus consultant and engineer, are the directors of EcoBuild Developments, a firm which builds homes using proven technologies for sustainability and energy efficiency.

New Zealand eHaus¢ licensees build to the requirements of the eHaus brand to meet the German Passivhaus standard.

At the heart of the brand's popularity is its internationally proven ability to deliver a cosy interior with an 80% reduction in heating and fuel costs, says Brown.

"We work to a wide range of eHaus plans but also offer a full design service."

Holistic, sustainable and affordable, an eHaus design addresses foundations and wall construction, window settings, frames and glazing; as well as shading, orientation, air-tightness; ventilation and energy efficiency, to achieve Passivhaus Institute certification.
