Empowering the construction industry to build for the future.
Emu is a small business with a big heart and hopefully bigger impact. We believe strongly in the power of community, education, and collaboration. You will find that advanced building science is its own language, and that the most impactful thing you can do is to grow your ecosystem of trusted team members. Emu is fluent in Passive House, and we want to help grow that network.
Hands-Online Training
Online and In-Person training for busy design/build & construction professionals who are concerned about moisture control, air sealing, thermal bridging, healthy indoor air, durability, resiliency, and affordability of high-performance.
Product/Project Services
With the Passive House standard as our benchmark, we can model and simulate performance of anything from commercial or residential projects to specific components or products, and recommend cost-effective development steps.
Passive Systems
We believe that the future of the construction industry lies in the standardization and simplification of advanced building science through virtual prototyping and dynamic simulation. We analyze and certify construction systems, windows, pre-fab panels, and more.
The world needs geeky builders.
Passive House is the gold standard for advanced building science education. Connect that research to reality, and build for the future.
Buildings are for people, not the planet. Passive House is for both.
We are building for the future. Get on board before you get left behind.
Emu offers professional training, consulting services, and component/systems analysis for all aspects of the design and construction of high quality building envelopes and healthy indoor environments, using the international Passive House standard as our benchmark.
Emu’s Mission:
To close the gap between mainstream construction practices and advanced, proven building science, and to empower our industry to build for the future and for resiliency through builder training and simple, standard, Passive systems.
