What is a High Performance Home?

High performance homes:

  • Will consume fewer resources at construction and throughout their life
  • Will be more comfortable to live in without the typical comfort problems that plague many homes, old and new
  • Are safer to live in, being less susceptible to the unintended consequences of less-thoughtful construction
  • Are more durable, having considered the environment that they face on a daily basis
  • Considerably out-perform homes built in a conventional way

High performance builders:

  • Follow a systems approach to building homes
  • Take into consideration resource efficiency, comfort, safety and durability
  • Recognize that "first-cost" is not the only valid economic criteria for homes
