Discover the Prospect Passiv Site Tour: A Passivhaus Revolution in Prospect, Western Sydney on Sunday the 9th of November, 2025
Hello, Western Sydney and Blue Mountains homeowners and sustainability enthusiasts! At Cory Webb Design Passivhaus Designers, we’re excited to invite you to an exclusive site tour of our Prospect Passiv project—a double-storey Passivhaus under construction in the emerging suburb of Prospect. If you’re a young professional couple or family in your late 30s to mid-50s dreaming of a climate-conscious, resilient home, this tour of an active construction site will help you understand the science, systems, and methods required to achieve Passivhaus certification.
Why Visit Prospect Passiv?
Prospect’s hot summers, cool winters, and air quality challenges like hay fever-causing pollen and occasional bushfire smoke call for homes that are efficient, healthy, and resilient. Prospect Passiv delivers:
Huge Energy Savings: Slash energy use by up to 86% compared to standard homes, keeping your bills low and your home future-proof against rising costs.
Unmatched Comfort: Enjoy steady indoor temperatures (20-25°C) without relying on energy-hungry air conditioning, perfect for Prospect’s variable weather.
Healthier Living: Our Dantherm Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) system delivers fresh, filtered air every three hours, protecting your family—especially kids, allergy sufferers, or older loved ones—from pollen and smoke.
Sustainable Design: Built with eco-friendly materials, this home minimizes your carbon footprint while looking stunning.
What Makes Prospect Passiv Special?
At Cory Webb Design, we’ve crafted Prospect Passiv using locally available materials to prove that high-performance homes are practical and achievable. On this tour of an active construction site, you’ll see the science and systems in action, including:
Weathertex Cladding: Australian-made, sustainable cladding that’s durable, low-maintenance, and perfect for Prospect’s suburban aesthetic.
Waffle Pod Slab: A cost-effective, efficient foundation that supports Passivhaus performance without breaking the bank.
Pro Clima Intello Plus Airtight Membrane: Creates a super-tight envelope (≤0.6 ACH50, compared to 10-20 ACH50 for typical homes), stopping drafts and saving energy while managing humidity.
Pro Clima Solitex Extasana Vapour-Permeable Membrane: Works with a ventilated cavity to prevent condensation and mould—crucial in Prospect’s humid climate.
High-Performance Glazing: Balances natural light with minimal heat gain or loss, keeping your home cozy year-round.
Raked Ceilings: Adds spaciousness and a warm, modern aesthetic that elevates the living experience.

With an energy demand of ≤15 kWh/m²/year for heating and cooling, it’s a game-changer for families who value sustainability, health, and financial resilience. By visiting the active construction site, you’ll gain hands-on insights into the meticulous methods—like airtightness testing and thermal bridge elimination—that achieve Passivhaus certification, ensuring your home is healthy, efficient, and built to last.
