Passive House

First lamp is dedicated to passive house design and construction as a new standard of high performance and environmental responsibility.

Every person in our office feels a responsibility to be versed and educated in passive house design and construction. 

Passive house design cuts energy consumption of code compliant buildings by 60-80 percent. Passive buildings are also desired for their superior indoor comfort, air quality, and smart technologies.
