General Information

Passive House Plus new build
Building type: detached single family house

Location: AU - 3431 (Victoria)


Description:

Bluegum: This conventional suburban style plan with an integral garage, living areas facing the street and a covered veranda across the rear has enhanced performanceby the use of clerestory glazing. This high-level glazing brings sunlight into the living areas (which face away from the sun) and free solar energy which enables the house to achieve Passivhaus Plus. Walls are standard 90mm timber studs with rendered external insulation cladding. The roof is timber trusses with glasswool insulation. The floor is insulated above the slab to eliminate thermal bridges from the structural piers. Window frames are Upvc.
