Passive House Construction FAQ for Kirkland Homeowners
What is the Passive House (Passivehaus) standard?
Passive House is an international building standard focused on dramatically reducing energy use for heating and cooling—typically by 90% compared to code-built homes. It achieves this through super-insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and heat recovery ventilation.
Does Passive House cost more to build?
Passive House construction typically adds 5-15% to the initial build cost compared to code-minimum construction. However, dramatically lower energy bills, reduced maintenance, and higher resale value mean most homeowners see a net positive return within 7-10 years.
Can you build a Passive House in Seattle’s rainy climate?
Absolutely—Seattle’s mild, wet climate is actually ideal for Passive House construction. The airtight building envelope prevents the moisture problems that plague many Pacific Northwest homes. Heat recovery ventilation provides constant fresh air without letting in humidity.
Can an existing home be retrofitted to Passive House standards?
Yes, though a full Passive House retrofit (EnerPHit standard) is more complex than new construction. We evaluate each home individually—sometimes a deep energy retrofit achieves 70-80% of Passive House performance at a fraction of the cost.
