Passive

EvoCo homes are crafted to Passive Home performance criteria and principles. Some of these include continuous insulation, air-sealed building envelopes, air purification and heat-recovery systems, high performing joinery and good passive solar design. 

This results in very low ongoing energy costs, maximum comfort and an exceptionally quiet and healthy living environment.

Superior Durability

EvoCo homes by far exceed the performance criteria of the New Zealand building code. They are structurally robust and designed to perform in any corrosion, earthquake or climate zone across New Zealand. They are healthier, more energy efficient, quieter and more comfortable than regular homes because of this. 

Super Energy Efficient

EvoCo homes are airtight and built from structurally insulated panels (or SIPs for short). They have a minimum of 60% more insulation than a regular home. Our hot water heat pumps provide a 60% efficiency in hot water supply.  Our ducted heat recovery systems recycle 92% of internal heat while cleaning and purifying the air.

LED smart lighting, Class D amplifiers, low energy appliances and other design considerations all contribute toward low to no additional energy costs. 

Sustainable

EvoCo homes and our supporting systems are designed to minimize the environmental footprint while enhancing efficiency, comfort, and the health of those who live in them. 

Some of our sustainable considerations include utilising high performing and long lasting materials, heat recovery systems, water management systems, off-grid designs and more.
