Egypt's First Passive House Firm
Design for Health, Comfort, and 60% Energy Savings
We are the first firm in Egypt dedicated exclusively to Passive House design — delivering ultra-low-energy buildings that adhere to the highest international energy efficiency standards, including the Passive House Standard and the locally-optimized EEDC Framework.
Passive House Institute (Germany) & EEDC Certified
Who We Are
Redefining Architecture for a Sustainable Egypt
Since our founding in 2021, Passive House Egypt has been at the forefront of architectural innovation in the MENA region. We are the first Egyptian firm to focus exclusively on designs based on the Passive House Criteria — a rigorous, performance-based standard originating from the Passive House Institute in Germany.
Our design philosophy centers on creating healthy environments that promote continuous fresh air circulation while achieving up to 60% energy savings. We blend creativity with functionality, crafting spaces that reflect our clients' unique needs and aspirations — all while adhering to global energy efficiency standards, including Passive House and LEED certification.
We hold internationally accredited certifications from the Passive House Institute (Germany), PHT (UK), and the Faculty of Engineering at Cairo University. Our team is dedicated to transformative design that elevates every project we touch.

Two Prestigious Pathways to Exceptional Performance
We are the only firm in Egypt that masters both the internationally accredited Passive House Standard and the locally-optimized Energy Efficiency Design Criteria (EEDC) — empowering you to choose the pathway that aligns with your goals.
Passive House Standard
The Global Gold Standard
90% Reduction in Heating & Cooling Demand
Verified by the Passive House Institute (Germany)
Originating from the Passive House Institute (Germany), this is the world's most rigorous, performance-based energy efficiency standard. A certified Passive House requires as little as 10% of the energy used by a conventional building for heating and cooling.
- Certified Passive House (PHI) recognition
- International credibility and market value
- Heat demand ≤ 15 kWh/m²/year
- Airtightness ≤ 0.6 ACH @ 50 Pa
- Compatible with LEED dual certification
≤15 kWh/m²/yr Heating | ≤0.6 ACH @ 50 Pa
EEDC Framework
The Climate-Optimized Standard
58% Energy Consumption Reduction
Published in Open House International (Emerald)
Developed through rigorous research at Cairo University, the Energy Efficiency Design Criteria (EEDC) is a localized adaptation of Passive House principles — specifically engineered for Egypt's hot, arid climate and validated with real building monitoring.
- Research-backed and published internationally
- Optimized for Egyptian climatic conditions
- Up to 63% reduction in cooling consumption
- Cost-effective high performance
- Contributes to Egypt's national energy strategy
