Passivhaus Part 5:
Is it too expensive

The persistent question of whether Passivhaus is prohibitively expensive is an inquiry we frequently encounter, and as architects, overcoming the hurdle of persuading clients about its affordability is paramount.

In this part of our Passivhaus series, we will explore the financial advantages of Passive House construction. Discover how energy-efficient buildings can reduce costs, increase borrowing capacity, and generate long-term savings.

Gain insights into financial analyses that compare the long-term savings and benefits of Passive House compared to traditional construction methods. Explore how Green Loans and incentives can make sustainable building projects cost-neutral or even cost-saving. This can unlock greater borrowing capacity and provide long-term financial freedom for architects and designers.
