Hedger Constructions, Victoria’s multi-award-winning custom home builders, have recently commenced Passive House Constructions. In a Passive House there is a continuous supply of filtered clean air, indoor temperatures are always comfortable, and energy used for heating and cooling is minimised. This is achieved via specific design and build principles including improved insulation, high-performance windows, optimal use of passive solar energy and thermal mass, external shading, and limiting unwanted heat loss or gain in thermal bridges. The Passive House certified tradesmen at Hedger Constructions are achieving great results for clients and the environment, producing healthy, comfortable, low energy and resilient buildings.
