A few local builders I’m in contact with are testing their completed homes, many achieving 5ach or less. This study shows those homes are 98% likely to have mould issues in the future using NCC compliant building techniques.

Using PassivHaus proven and tested methodology will ensure this doesn’t happen to you.

High Performance Home Paddington handed over - only landscaping to go.
This building started as the leakiest home on the planet and is now a combination of high performance renovation, and Low Energy Building additions. Not being certified but the rear addition has satisfied all of the metrics of PassivHaus Low Energy Building and the original pre-1900 timber workers shack isn't far behind.
It's fairly cold in Brisbane this week, but this home has remained comfortable with zero heating. Well done Team.

PassivHaus The Gap taking shape.
A very compact design which will be certified to the PassivHaus Low Energy Building standard. Small homes struggle to meet the full standard, and the LEB standard achieves all of the same comfort, air quality and indoor healthy homes requirements.

One of my PassivHaus clients pointed me to "The Godfather of Building Science" north American Joseph Lsitburek. Everything he talks about here is exactly what the PassivHaus system does.

As Australian buildings get more airtight, and insulation gets better and better, we are actually making our houses far less healthy. We are trapping condensation and humidity which leads to Mould and toxins. We are making all of the same mistakes that the rest of the world has already learned from?
