Passive House / Bioclimatic
This property in Estoi was evaluated by the pilot version of the 'LíderA' Sustainability Assessment System in 2006. In 2007 it was the first house in Portugal certified with level A for a good level of environmental performance and in 2015, after several updates, it was certified LíderA++, being the first construction in Portugal to have achieved the exceptional A++ performance class with the highest score. This maximum classification in environmental terms means, in relation to common practice, an environmental performance of an order of magnitude ten times greater, i.e. energy consumption of just 10% of the usual.
