Standing in a meadow in rural Prince Edward Island, this home was designed and built to the International Passive House standard. The young family enjoys expansive views and abundant natural light, while paying 85% less to heat their home than if it was built with conventional details.

The two-storey, 2500 square foot house maintains a comfortable temperature, in all seasons, with only one small electric heater. Deep insulation, triple glazed windows and excellent airtightness ensure comfort and durability, while a high efficiency ventilation system provides exceptional fresh air. This sustainable design is proof that a passive house is the healthiest and most comfortable home that can be built.
