Living in an inefficient home means dealing with constant discomfort, unpredictable energy bills, and poor indoor air quality. Drafts, temperature fluctuations, and rising costs leave you feeling frustrated and unable to enjoy your space fully.
Spending every winter bundled up in your living room because your heating escapes through poorly insulated walls, or dealing with a hot, stuffy home in summer despite running your air conditioning non-stop. Add to that the frustration of seeing high energy bills month after month while knowing your home isn’t doing enough to reduce its environmental footprint.
With our Passive House consulting, you can create a home that’s consistently comfortable, energy-efficient, and healthier for your family. By focusing on airtight construction, superior insulation, and advanced ventilation systems, we help you cut energy costs, improve air quality, and reduce your environmental impact—all while building a home designed for the future.

Founded by Jakub Matyska, a passionate advocate for sustainable living, The Passive House Way combines technical experience with a deep commitment to environmental stewardship.
At The Passive House Way, I am dedicated to transforming living spaces into comfort, health, and sustainability havens through certified Passive House consulting.
When I moved to Australia, I couldn’t believe how high the energy bills were and how uncomfortable many homes felt inside.
As a certified Passive House consultant with an engineering background, I help homeowners and builders create homes that stay comfortable year-round, cost less to run, and feel great to live in.
Whether you’re building or upgrading, I’ll guide you through every step to make your home smarter decision.
A Passive House is designed with one goal in mind: to give you lasting comfort, health, and peace of mind—without the energy waste. Unlike most homes built to minimum code, Passive Houses are carefully planned to stay warm in winter, cool in summer, and filled with fresh air all year round.
That means no more draughty rooms, stuffy air, or spiking energy bills. You’ll notice the difference the moment you walk in – It is quiet, consistent, healthy comfort that just feels right. And because it’s built to last, your home will continue to support your wellbeing for decades to come.
For many of us, this isn’t just a technical upgrade but it’s a way of living that finally matches their values.
Have you ever walked barefoot on a freezing floor in the morning, or struggled to sleep through a summer heatwave? Most Australian homes are uncomfortable because they weren’t designed with real comfort in mind.
Passive Houses are different. In winter, thick insulation and airtight construction keep warmth where it belongs. In summer, shading, smart orientation, and thermal protection help your home stay naturally cool. Every season is balanced with quiet, consistent comfort and always fresh, filtered air moving gently through your home.
The result is a living environment that feels just right, every day. No hot and cold spots, no overworked air conditioners, and no more choosing between comfort and sustainability.
Upfront, a Passive House typically costs around 10–15% more to build but that extra investment goes exactly where it matters: into performance, comfort, and long-term peace of mind.
Most conventional homes rely on cheap materials and inefficient systems that leave you paying more for heating, cooling, and maintenance over time. Passive Houses are built smarter from the start. They cost less to run, need fewer repairs, and protect you from rising energy prices. For many of our clients in the Warragul region, the math is simple: a Passive House is not just better value – it’s a better experience of home.
And with green home loans and incentives now more widely available, building smarter is more accessible than ever.
Many homeowners are shocked to learn how much energy they’re losing every day. Leaky windows, thin walls, and poor construction all add up to higher bills and less comfort.
A Passive House can reduce your heating and cooling energy use by up to 90%. That’s not a gimmick – it’s a well-documented calculated result of better design. For a household in Warragul, that means thousands of dollars saved over the years and that’s just the beginning.
You’ll also benefit from more stable indoor temperatures, fewer maintenance issues, and lower running costs overall. These savings give you financial breathing room and confidence that your home is truly working for you, not against you.
If you or your loved ones suffer from allergies, poor sleep, or even just the heavy air in some homes, you’ve probably wondered if there’s a healthier way to build.
Most new Australian homes seal in heat but forget to bring in enough fresh air. That leads to stale, humid rooms—filled with dust, allergens, and pollutants from building materials or gas appliances. Over time, this can affect your health, your sleep, and even your children’s development.
A Passive House includes a quiet, continuous fresh air system that filters out pollutants and brings in clean, healthy air—every hour of the day. It removes excess moisture and prevents mould, creating a home that doesn’t just feel good, but actively supports your wellbeing.
For families who care about health and want to protect what matters most, this is one of the most powerful benefits of Passive House design.
