The collection includes pre-designed modern dwellings planned along the principles of passive design and sustainable architecture. These ‘green’ homes are designed to be highly energy efficient, easy to maintain, healthy to live in and environmentally friendly.
Passive house is a specific design standard from Germany and Austria which fundamentally consists of an energy limit, a quality requirement and a defined set of passive systems. Several components have an impact on whether the standard can be achieved or not. Passive design features superior insulation, high performance windows and doors, excellent air tightness, open floor layout, healthy indoor environment and highly efficient heat recovery.
Developed by the company’s in-house architectural team, Fab-Home's flexible designs are capable of meeting the most stringent energy efficiency standard. The company has designed the homes to consume up to 90% less energy for heating, cooling, and operations. The goal will be to achieve the actual passive house standard.
Fab-Homes’ planned green building options include a heat recovery ventilation system, triple glazed windows, rainwater harvesting, a gray water recycling system, solar photovoltaic, solar hot water panels, geothermal energy baskets, green roof gardens, and the use of green, renewable, and low-VOC materials throughout.
