PASSIVE HOUSE
SUSTAINABLE LIVING
Majestic Elm Brook brings high performance, energy efficient living to Bedford, Massachusetts. Designed for New England’s changing seasons, the community is being constructed to rigorous Phius standards, with a focus on year round comfort, reduced energy use, improved indoor air quality, and long term durability.
Advanced insulation, airtight construction, high performance windows, and continuous fresh air ventilation work together to create residences that remain comfortable through cold winters, humid summers, and everything in between.
The result is a more efficient approach to everyday living, one that combines year round comfort with reduced energy use.
WHAT IS PHIUS?
Phius is a rigorous, performance based building standard for highly energy efficient buildings. Certification considers how the entire building performs, with specific requirements for energy use, airtightness, ventilation, moisture management, and indoor comfort.
Rather than relying on larger heating and cooling systems to compensate for energy loss, Phius buildings are designed to reduce that demand from the start. Careful design, high performance materials, precise construction, and extensive testing all contribute to a building that uses less energy while maintaining a comfortable indoor environment.
BUILT FOR BETTER LIVING
Year Round Comfort
High levels of insulation and airtight construction help maintain consistent indoor temperatures while reducing drafts, cold spots, and temperature fluctuations.
Fresh, Filtered Air
Continuous balanced ventilation introduces filtered outdoor air while removing stale indoor air, supporting a healthier indoor environment.
Exceptional Energy Efficiency
A high performance building envelope significantly reduces the amount of energy needed for heating and cooling throughout the year.
A Quieter Interior
Enhanced insulation, high performance windows, and airtight construction help limit exterior noise for a more peaceful indoor environment.
Long Term Durability
Careful control of air, heat, and moisture supports the durability of the building and helps protect its performance over time.
