Sammon Passive House – Toronto
This is our first home renovation on-track to receive Passive House Certification in Toronto. We are targeting Enerphit Certification from the Passive House Institute.
The house is 276m2 GFA (2,965sqft) detached house will be the first to be Passive House certified in Toronto. Located in the Danforth, east end of Toronto, this full renovation and addition will maximize the solar gains in the South during the winter and shading the window in the peak of summer.
The heating load is also optimized by reducing the thermal bridging of the enclosure to the minimum, requiring only the equivalent of an electric heater to heat the house in the peak of the winter. Triple glass windows with high-quality frames will make the whole house comfortable and provide natural light to the rooms.
