So You Can See, Feel, and Prove
The Enduro Passive House Difference For Yourself

Like Many People Considering Building A Passive House,
You’re Probably Wondering:

How it will compare to a standard custom home (in noticeable benefits, upfront investment, and ongoing savings).

Maybe you’ve seen advertising claims about how quiet and peaceful passive homes are and wonder what that feels like in real life (or if you’ll even notice).

Perhaps you’ve read articles about the improved air quality in passive homes. And while the data looks good, you wonder what difference (if any) it will make to your health (especially when it comes to things like allergies, eczema, and respiratory function) and overall energy.

You’ve no doubt heard about how comfortable and energy efficient passive homes are. But are the claims of stable all-year temperature (with minimal heating and cooling) exaggerated? And what energy savings can you really expect?

If you’re like most people, you just want to know the truth. What’s worth spending extra on? Where can you save without compromise? And how can you be confident you are getting genuine value for your money compared to a standard custom home.

You Be The Judge

While you can spend days (weeks, and months) researching information about passive houses. And listen to the opinions of so-called experts (most of whom have never actually lived in a passive house). The only way to really understand the differences (and benefits) is to experience them for yourself.

That’s why we invested more than $1m to build the only passive house display home in South Australia. And we’re delighted to invite you to book a tour.

See Passive Pillars In Action

Passive house building is based on 5 pillars including:

Air Tightness
Quality Insulation
Window Glazing
Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation
No Thermal Bridges

Your guide will explain how these work as you see them demonstrated throughout our passive house display home. And show you the 3 levels of energy efficient building so you can choose the option that is best for you.

As Real As It Gets

Unlike other builders who load their display homes with premium extras (that cost tens of thousands more than their standard package prices), our display home features realistic family-style inclusions. So you get a real sense of what you get for your money. And see how cost-effective quality can be.

While you are naturally free to choose premium styling options for your home, you won’t see them in this display house. What you will see (and experience) is a home that is quiet, healthy, and supremely comfortable – meticulously built in frame, features, and finishes.

Industrial Strength, Library Quiet

Swinging the front door open, you get a sense of how sturdy the home is. Nothing shakes, squeaks, or creaks. Closing it seals the hustle and bustle outside, leaving you in a serene sanctuary.

The entire home is acoustically shielded to block noise from traffic, neighbours and dogs outside. It works in reverse too. So you can enjoy loud music and movies. And live the way you want without worrying about who will hear.

Each room is also designed for maximum auditory privacy so you can relax in total peace and quiet.

Lights Out But Still Bright

When you visit other display homes (or houses for sale), you’ll notice that every light is already turned on. If they weren’t, the houses would be dark and dingy.

Your tour of our passive house begins with the lights off. So you can see how light and bright every room is (even on dull days). A result of the detailed Sun Studies we conduct to optimise size and placement of windows (to maximise natural light without compromising thermal performance).

Clean, Healthy Air

As you move throughout the home, you’ll notice how relaxed you feel. How much easier you’re breathing. And how much energy and focus you have.

That’s because the HRV (Heat Recovery Ventilation) System is removing stale CO2 and replacing it with fresh filtered air that is free from pollens, smoke, mould spores, and airborne contaminants. This also helps to keep the home clean and free from dust.

Stable Humidity

No dampness or condensation that causes dangerous mould. Just stable humidity that is comfortable and healthy. Reducing the incidence of allergies, skins conditions, and respiratory afflictions.

Design Optimisation

Your guide will explain how the layout of the home has been optimised to make the most of the unique block of land – maximising natural light, breezes, and views, without compromising privacy. You’ll see the attention that goes into every design detail to make our passive homes supremely comfortable.

Windows And Doors

Not all thermally efficient windows and doors are the same. While most are double-glazed (with two panes of glass), many that other builders use have an aluminium frame (that acts as a thermal bridge that compromises the thermal integrity of the home).

Your guide will explain why the windows and doors we use have PVC frames. Why, unlike other builders who import windows and doors from overseas, we only use windows and doors made locally in Australia. And the studies we conduct to determine the optimum size and placement of each window and door.

What Quality Looks (And Feels) Like

To the inexperienced eye, most new homes look nice at first glance – even though they may be riddled with underlying problems (commonly hidden under plaster and paint).

Your guide will point out the expert workmanship and meticulous attention to detail that goes into our Passive Homes to give them superior structural integrity, practical features, and flawless finish.

Gain 30 Years Of Building Experience
In Just 45 Minutes

Unlike many display home tours with other companies that are really just a sales presentation with a commission salesperson (who may not have any building experience), your tour of Enduro’s Passive House Display Home is with one of our team who will actually be working with you to get your home dreams turned into a reality (they also aren’t on a commission!).

After your tour, you’ll know more about passive house building than most builders (even those that claim to build energy efficient houses). You’ll be able to spot issues in other homes. And you’ll know exactly what to look for in a builder for your home.

Naturally (and if appropriate), we’d love to help you build your own dream Passive Home. But in any case, we are glad to show you around our Passive House Display Home so you can avoid mistakes you may regret, and feel more informed and confident in making decisions about the home you’re building.
