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.
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 centres 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
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
EEDC Framework
The Climate-Optimized Standard
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
The Transformational Difference
We don’t just design buildings — we deliver measurable, verified performance that transforms the way you live and work.
Pioneering Expertise
First firm in Egypt exclusively dedicated to Passive House design. Our co-founders hold PhDs in energy-efficient design and are certified by the Passive House Institute (Germany).
Research-Backed Innovation
We authored the EEDC framework — the first study of its kind for Egypt — published in Open House International (Emerald Publishing). We don’t just implement standards; we create them.
Proven Track Record
20+ years of experience across multiple residential and administrative projects, from concept through construction supervision. Agile delivery ensures on-time, on-budget results.
Global Collaboration
Active partnerships with leading architectural firms in Germany and the USA. We bring international best practices to Egypt and the MENA region.
Advanced Design Tools
Experts in BIM, Design Builder, PHPP, and Parametric Modeling with Grasshopper — using data-driven design to achieve measurable energy savings.
Measurable Results
Every project is verified through simulation and testing. We don’t promise — we prove. Your building’s performance is measured, not assumed.
