Passive/High Performance Construction
What is High Performance Construction?
The Highest Standards of Construction
High Performance Construction is a building approach that aims to create homes that are highly energy-efficient, durable, and healthy to live in. This approach uses advanced building materials, design and construction techniques to create a building envelope that is airtight and well-insulated, allowing for optimal temperature and humidity control and reduced energy consumption. Additionally, High Performance homes may incorporate features such as triple-pane windows, energy-efficient lighting, and renewable energy systems such as solar panels or geothermal heating and cooling as well.
Officially Certified (Or not)
There are a number of official certifications related to high performance construction. These include Passive House Certification, LEED Certification and Net Zero Energy rating, among others. But the benefits of these highest standards of construction are available to all homeowners whether they ultimately go for official certifications or not.
The Valle Group is Here for You
As a pioneer in high performance construction with an experienced team that includes Certified Passive House builders and LEED Accredited Professionals, The Valle Group would like to be a resource to anyone considering building a new high performance home on Cape Cod.

Passive House Building
The Valle Group is a pioneer in Passive House Building having built the first Certified Passive House in the region more than a decade ago. At that time it was one of only 24 such houses in the nation. We have gone on to build many more award-winning projects since then. We are proud to say that every high performance construction project is led by a full time PHIUS Certified Passive House Builder and Project Manager.

Net Zero Energy Home Construction
For those who want to make the very most of their environmentally sustainable lifestyle while minimizing their carbon footprint, Net Zero Energy is an option to strongly consider. By combining the energy-conservative principles or Passive Building with an energy-generative renewable energy source on site (typically solar or geo-thermal) homeowners can achieve the desirable goal of consuming no more energy than they produce. The Valle Group can help you achieve that goal in your new home.

Deep Energy Retro Fit (Renovation)
Whereas many High Performance construction methodologies are geared towards new construction, Deep Energy Retrofits are ideal for those who would like to improve the energy efficiency and reduce the carbon footprint of their existing home. Deep Energy Retrofits may be undertaken as part of a renovation/addition or as a standalone project.
