A new brand tagline
Our new tagline - "Redefining the way we live", raises questions and challenges thinking. Redefining what? For who? and How? This represents eHaus as a business. Constantly challenging and asking questions. Looking forward, lifting standards and improving quality. Offering something new and defining us as trusted leaders in PassivHaus intelligence.
Our mission 'Leading the way in PassivHaus design, architecture and construction" is the driving force behind all that we do, and our new tagline "Redefining the way we live", supports and inspires us to achieve this.
Suggesting so much more than a house, or building - an eHaus offers new way. Healthier living, unparalleled comfort and a home that requires little energy to run. At eHaus we don't just craft beautiful spaces, we want to positively impact on the way New Zealanders live. As the pioneers of PassivHaus in New Zealand, eHaus is the redefinition of German technology, functioning in the New Zealand landscape. "Redefine" also suggests a constant growth and a constant questioning of current standards. This keeps us at the cutting edge of construction and design.
This new way of talking is what will set us apart and keep us at the forefront to meet the needs of our customers as we move forward.

Making it onto national news the IceBox challenge is a public experiment and contest, pitting a building built to the minimum NZ Building Code standard against one built to the internationally recognised Passive House Standard.
Two buildings, the IceBoxes, are built. One to the NZ Building Code standard and one to the Passive House Standard. Into each building is placed a 500 kg block of ice, and the buildings are left in the sun for nine days.
Which building will perform better? Which building will have more ice left after nine days in the sun?
A fun way to raise awareness about Passive House construction. Join us in following the outcome
