High performance passive homes

Passive House methodology originated in Germany and Austria as an engineering building standard. The focus is on building comfortable, affordable homes while saving up to 90% in heating costs and lowering our carbon footprint. Over 60,000 passive homes have been built worldwide.

DIMEX has embraced this way of construction and chosen to lead the industry forward, building homes where physics and thermodynamics are applied to every component of the exterior envelope, to minimize heat loss while continuously providing fresh, filtered air for a healthy breathing and living environment.

Passive House living

Five principles of Passive House

01

Super-insulated exterior walls

  • 6 inches of additional insulation maintains an even temperature throughout the home while providing a comfortable living environment regardless of the outside temperature.
  • Eliminates drafts within the home and minimizes heat loss by up to 90%, reducing heating costs by up to 90%.
02

High-performance triple-glazed tilt-and-turn windows

  • Passive House window frames are insulated. A tilt-and-turn mechanism allows the window to open from the top as well as from the side.
  • The top-tilt mechanism brings in fresh air while keeping pets and children safe from accidental falls.
  • Triple glazing with insulated frames further reduces heat loss and drafts, and adds protection from outside noise.
03

Fresh air system with heat recovery

  • Improves air quality by pushing out stale air and providing fresh air 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, circulating through the entire home.
  • Transfers heat from the outgoing air to the incoming fresh air to maintain temperature and continue savings on heating costs.
  • Provides a healthy breathing environment.
04

Thermal bridge free continuous insulation

  • Does not allow for cold spots that would support mold growth, providing a healthier living environment.
  • Eliminates drafts and maintains an even temperature throughout the home while saving on heating costs.
05

Airtight construction

  • Resiliency is built in — Passive House homes remain warm even during a power failure.
  • Future-proof, allowing the home to be net-zero ready.
