Why choose PassivEnergy?

Our team has backgrounds in building design, construction, and sustainable building methodology. This gives us a deep understanding of how to optimise developments to offer the most cost-effective solutions and what sound solar passive design principles make your dwelling more comfortable to live in.

We regularly attend seminars and workshops to keep up to date with software improvements and industry updates.

PassivEnergy is registered with the Design Matters national (DM) and accredited to provide 6 Star Energy Rating and BASIX assessments. We are also BESS-trained professionals and proficient in the BESS, STORM, NCC and SDS scorecard systems.

What sets us apart from the rest? We make full use of technology to bring our clients the most efficient service possible.

We have an online fee proposal system that allows our clients to digitally sign the fee proposal and enter debit/credit card details or direct debt all in one hit. No printing out PDF quotes to sign and rescan – you digitally sign, and it automatically creates a job in our job tracking system ready for us to complete.

We also use an online ticketing system that captures all our client’s email queries, such as amendment requests, report queries, etc., so that our team can respond efficiently and effectively.
