DESIGN: 

Maine Passive House has designed several of our earlier projects and continues to offer this service.  We also constantly sketch and design the better details on projects designed by others.

CONSULTING:

Maine Passive House offers consulting services such as design details, best practices and training of other builders.  Maine Passive House also offers PHPP (passive house performance software) calculations as well as thermal bridge calculations using the Therm software.

RETROFIT:

A retrofit is an upgrade of the energy performance of an existing building. It most often involves making the building more airtight, adding exterior insulation, triple pane windows and a mechanical ventilation system. Besides the energy savings, a retrofit also increases the comfort of the building, increases the healthfulness of the building, and it makes it more resilient. The ideal time to do a retrofit is when exterior components like windows, roof and siding need to be replaced anyway.
