Sustainable Construction Sustainable construction, or green building, is concerned with the economic, social, and environmental impact of creating a usable structure. It requires designers and contractors to use building practices that will not cause long-term damage to the environment. Sustainable buildings are designed to be energy efficient, to provide healthy internal environments for occupants and to reduce pollution and waste.

PassivHaus Construction PassivHaus buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous design and construction according to principles developed by the PassivHaus Institute in Germany, a certified PassivHaus scheme goes through an exacting quality assurance process at both design and construction stages.
