High-performance homes are becoming more common in New Zealand for a number of reasons. Immigrants from colder climates such as North America or Europe are experiencing our poor housing stock, and many have quoted they’ve never been as cold in their life before living in a traditional New Zealand home.

One of the more popular recent construction methods is homes certified under the “Passive House” standard, initially started in Germany but now a building performance standard used in tens of thousands of homes worldwide. A Passive House is carefully designed to ensure the home only uses around 20% of the energy a typical home would consume.

The heart of a Passive House is design, high levels of insulation, air-tightness, and balanced ventilation. Before adding on renewable energy generation, the first priority is to reduce the base load of demand. That way – you need a much smaller and cheaper system.

We are proud to work alongside our friends at Formance to change the game with high-performance homes in NZ.

Whether you're planning a build for your own home or you're planning to build several, the sooner it's built, the better. Formance SIPs can be a lot faster than traditional framing, particularly when you consider prenailed walls and roof sections.

If you want to learn more about how Formance SIPs work, make sure you book to visit our showhome this month. We will be having a Formance representative come down and answer any and all questions you may have!
