Custom Passive Homes

EkoBuilt offers the most affordable passive home option in North America. It’s our passion – let’s talk about how we can create your custom passive house.

We’ll always make time for a call or Zoom to discuss your project. Please just reach out!

Reduce Risk, Build with Confidence

If you’re considering a new build, you can gain the confidence to make decisions that will satisfy your emotions as much as your intellect.

Political and financial turmoil, including tariffs, trade wars, affordability issues, and rising energy costs all contribute to a landscape that can undermine our biggest decisions. This doesn’t have to be the case.

Building passive will actually address your biggest concerns. Building passive with EkoBuilt will smooth the path to get you there, removing any final obstacles you might perceive.

Choosing a resilient, ultra low energy home will protect you now and far into the future. Take control in an uncertain world with the smartest new home choice you can make.

Confirm your project with a $3,500 design deposit by May 31 and save on a sliding scale. Save from $2,500 on our smallest designs up to $15,000 for our largest. Learn more.

Your Design, Our Expertise

We’ve spent a lot of time designing a suite of more than 75 pre-certified passive home plans, as we know passive house design and technology inside and out.

We know what works and how to apply the concepts to make them work within your particular circumstances, including geographic and climatic concerns, site specifics, and personal lifestyle needs and preferences.

We have perfected our passive home offering into a prefab building system that is easily shipped to your locale. We send a site supervisor who oversees installation of your home’s weathertight shell. (We can also supply it in kit form for local assembly.) We ship anywhere in Canada or the continental US.

If you have a vision of a fully custom home, we can offer our in-house architecture service. This will turn your vision into the necessary construction specifications and detailed drawings for your house. Get full details of our design service.

Our Passion for Passive

We’re so passionate about passive homes, we’ve become the go-to resource for passive homes. This includes home owners and others researching home energy trends, passive house design, and more.

We blog about these topics regularly, constantly sharing our knowledge and experience through our social media channels. Continuously adding to our body of knowledge is a process informed through our work with homeowners across the US and Canada. We love sharing new home projects as part of this process.

We’re delighted to have reached a point where “net zero” and “passive house” have entered the popular imagination. Our homes are so energy efficient, we say that you can take it Net Positive, not just Net Zero. That means with one of our homes, you can add solar panels and make more energy than your home actually uses.

When you work with EkoBuilt, you’re engaging with a group of people who are thoroughly passionate about sustainable home building. We’ll apply that same passion to your home’s design and execution.

If your property is within 2 hours drive time of our west Ottawa, Ontario base, we can handle the entire build for your new home or secondary dwelling.
