THE BEST OF PASSIV HOUSE IN THE CHANNEL ISLANDS & GREAT BRITAIN

The iHome holding Ltd was launched to bring the best of the Passive Housing technology to the Channel Islands and the UK. Low heating costs and a pleasant indoor climate year round make Passive House the building concept of the future. Passive Housing is a building standard that was masterminded in Austria and is characterized by very high energy efficiency, exceptional comfort and affordable construction costs. All these benefits together make it the smartest choice for your new home!

"I have warm feet all year round while energy savings are immense. With -10 degrees outside, the house inside is at a cosy 23 degrees Celsius, no heating required! Our new home regulates everything automatically... There is no way I will ever leave this house again!"

Angela Davis (Proud owner of a Passive House)

YOUR BENEFITS

GREAT ENERGY SAVINGS

Passive Housing makes efficient use of the sun, internal heat sources and employs heat recovery systems, rendering conventional heating systems obsolete even during the coldest of winters. During summer months, your passive home makes uses cooling designs to keep the interior comfortably cool (strategic shading). All in all, passive housing can have up to 90% energy savings compared to conventional homes. Also, as reductions in energy use lead to reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, Passive House is a truly sustainable alternative to conventional construction.

BUILT FAST & AFFORDBLE

As seen from the entire building life-cycle – the only sensible way to determine the real costs of a building, Passive Houses save time  & money. They are also surprisingly affordable and fast to build. The investment in higher quality building components required by the Passive House Standard is mitigated by the elimination of expensive heating and cooling systems. Increasingly available financial support in many European countries makes building a Passive House all the more feasible.

COMFORT & HEALTHY LIVING

Passive Houses are praised for the high level of comfort and healthy living they offer. Internal surface temperatures vary little from indoor air temperatures, even in the face of extreme outdoor temperatures. Special windows and a building envelope consisting of a highly insulated roof and floor slab as well as highly insulated exterior walls maintains a perfect temperature equilibrium. An intelligent ventilation system supplies constant fresh air, providing exceptional air quality without unpleasant draughts. A highly efficient heat recovery unit allows for the heat contained in the exhaust air to be re-used. The low-dust, no-condensation, mold- and pollen free air will help to avoid unpleasant allergies. The overall well being in passive homes is simply greatly improved!

HIGH RESALE VALUE

We don’t think you will ever want to sell your passive house. But if you should, certified passive homes achieve significantly higher rental and resale prices. At the same time, the investment into passive housing technologies does not exceed the building costs of conventional housing. This is made possible, as the building hulls are manufactured in highly efficient ways, using industrial and automated facilities.

CUSTOM DESIGN

The Passive House Standard is a purely performance-based, quality standard and thus dictates no particular methods of construction. Your building preferences can flow into the final design, whether solid construction, wood or composite materials are to be used.

OUR SERVICES

We offer prefabricated houses custom made to your design through our German & Austrian Partners, for which we are the sole & exclusive distributor in the Channel Islands.

 

We offer a one stop solution for all Passive Housing needs through our Channel Islands partner companies (design & construction).

 

By the End of 2015, we will also offer retrofitting of existing homes to the Passive House standard, supplying design, hull enhancements and technologies.

You can be sure that buildings having attained the Certified Passive House designation as well as retrofits certified according to EnerPHit Standards for energy efficient renovations have met stringent criteria laid out by the Passive House Institute.
