The eHaus team delivered, meeting strict requirements for energy efficiency, security, resilience to natural elements, and environmental considerations, all while staying within budget.

Extraordinary heat energy savings.

Every one of our projects are energy modelled using the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP). It's through this powerfully clever tool that we can accurately calculate just how much heat energy every eHaus will save when compared to a similarly- sized typical new home, built in the same climate region.
