Why Should Your Next Home be a Passive House?
Based in Ottawa, Canada, EkoBuilt’s mission is to spread passive homes across Canada and the US. (If passive house is new to you, check out Passive House 101: An Intro).
We work tirelessly to share information through our blog, social media channels, and our YouTube series The Passive House Show.
The building industry needs to change both to meet Net Zero goals and to prioritize occupant health. We believe we offer the best system for individual home home owners and increasingly those wishing to build multi-unit dwellings.

Our Net Zero Model Home

Located in the rural west end of Ottawa, Canada, our home base, is our net zero model home. The main dwelling is certified Passive House Plus on the PH International database. The companion coach house is also fully passive and has the net zero solar array on its roof.
We open our doors to the public several times a year to a four bedroom 1,600 sq ft passive home with companion coach home / ADU (secondary dwelling).
