Not all eHaus' are certified Passive Houses but rest assured that every eHaus is designed and built to deliver exceptional living experiences, without compromise. While only our eHaus Euro homes have the potential to be certified as Passive Houses, our eHaus Pacific homes still undergo the same rigorous internal checks and processes. Though they don’t meet the stringent Passive House criteria, eHaus Pacific homes are awarded eHaus verification upon completion, following a final airtightness test.

Please note that the certification process is reviewed regularly, and some requirements are beyond our control. While every effort will be made to achieve certification, it cannot be guaranteed.
