Making Passive House Mainstream

Our superinsulated homes are featured in super-detail in the current issue of Fine Homebuilding Magazine! The story showcases our panelized approach to home construction that starts in our factory, here in Searsmont, Maine. Not only do we adhere to the strict efficiency standards of PassivHaus, but we do it while positively impacting climate change, creating jobs in Maine, and producing efficient and affordable homes in the United States. Ecocor delivers homes to New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Canada.
