The Designer is free to customize the exterior (cladding and roof) and interior finishes to meet the client’s style.  Akira Living recommends that the exterior cladding finish be designed as a rain-screened system or installed as quasi-rain-screened system (has a built-in capillary break drainage plain).  On the interior side, any substituted interior finish material must fall within the same vapour permeance class (identified in the construction assembly details) as defined by the current International Building Code (and its derivative codes).

Please note the customer must purchase a Detail Package prior to Akira Living commencing any custom designs.  Alternately, simply purchase an AutoCAD file and adjust the finishing materials yourself to suit your project requirements.  Ensure all changes made comply with the terms and conditions in the License Agreement.

COMFORTABLE

Discomfort is felt when your body radiates heat to colder surfaces around you. This does not happen in a Passive House. Super-insulated building enclosure including high performance windows ensures comfortable interior conditions with no cold surfaces on the walls, floor, or roof. No temperature swings or drafts. The constant interior temperatures provide a new level of comfort – once you experience it you won’t go back.
BETTER INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Heat recovery ventilation (HRV) system delivering constant fresh filtrated air resulting in better indoor air quality, free of mold and lower levels of carbon dioxide, creating a healthy space to live.
SOUNDPROOF
Super-insulated and airtight building enclosure eliminates nearly all street noise when all windows and doors are closed. So you can get back to Netflix in peace and quiet.
DURABLE
Super-insulated and airtight building enclosure that’s thermal bridge free with controlled ventilation prevents condensation from forming on interior surfaces. A structure free of condensation damage will ensure an extraordinary service life.
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Passive House buildings consume 75% to 90% less heating energy than conventional homes. Save money on your monthly expenses by reducing your energy consumption.
