eHAUS - REDEFINING THE WAY WE LIVE
Discover the PassivHaus way
eHaus build amazing houses especially designed to give your family the best health, comfort and happiness at a fraction of the energy.
eHaus has an impressive philosophy - that it is our collective responsibility to take care of the environment, without sacrificing the comforts of your family's everyday life. That's why they work with you one-on-one to design and build your dream eHaus, creating a home that consumes an amazing 75-90% less heating energy, while providing healthier and more comfortable living spaces.
Not only does eHaus need virtually no heat to stay warm, it is optimised to capture any heat energy that is trying to escape. With energy recovery built right in, you can go about your day knowing the eHaus ventilation system is silently capturing and reusing 84% of the heat that would otherwise be wasted.
Less maintenance, more living
While your neighbours are making repairs on the weekends, you’re making the most of your day. eHaus is built to require less maintenance right from the start. Work with our designers to select naturally preserved timber or stone for a durable facade. Gethigh thermal performance that you’ll never have to replace with eHaus aluminium clad German timber joinery or our New Zealand made unplasticised PVC or thermally broken aluminium joinery. From the beginning your eHaus is designed for maximum performance, less maintenance and less hassle.
eHaus works hard, so you can breathe easy
Not only does eHaus need virtually no heat to stay warm, it is optimised to capture any heat energy that is trying to escape. With energy recovery built right in, you can go about your day knowing the eHaus ventilation system is silently capturing and reusing 84% of the heat that would otherwise be wasted.
High performers in every detail
It’s not just the Porsches, Mercedes and BMWs. Germans are the world’s gurus when it comes to engineering efficiency as well. They can predict a building’s energy consumption down to plus or minus 0.5kWh, and we can too. German engineering has been adopted and adeptly woven into eHaus to infuse your home with 20+ years of German passive house intelligence for energy conservation that is simply undeniable.
Capturing the natural light and heat from the sun comes down to the position and design of the house coupled with the number of windows. Too many in the wrong place and you may be living in an oven or at best, wearing sunglasses inside! Every eHaus uses a formula to calculate the impact of windows in your living environment.
The beauty of an eHaus is that a huge proportion of the heat generated in the home and by the sun stays in the home rather than leaking out. This fits with the description of the best form of Energy Efficiency – ‘getting better performance with less energy’ compared to a standard New Zealand built home. No matter the climate or geographical region, a PassivHaus stays at a comfortable temperature
year round with minimal energy input. These homes make efficient use of the sun, internal heat sources and heat recovery so that conventional heating systems are rendered unnecessary throughout the coldest winters.
Every item that consumes energy in the home is selected for the best performance, whilst using the least power.
