Passive House Plan Pricing

Passive House is the world’s most energy efficient standard and it’s the one we promote. It really doesn’t cost much more to build to this standard and reap the benefits, including much lower running costs. It’s your fastest, most affordable route to net zero.

We are in the process of updating all of our turnkey cost analysis documents. In the meantime, an increase of 3% to 5% is appropriate to add to any costs we share here.

Please note that all pricing is in Canadian dollars, although we work and ship our material kits across North America. (HST only applies to Canadian homeowners.)
