Keyton Retirement Living together with Monarch has built Australia’s first certified Passive House within a retirement village, delivered as part of The Grove’s extension in Ngunnawal, ACT.
What distinguishes this innovative villa is its high-performance building envelope: enhanced insulation, airtight construction, triple-glazed windows and doors, and a mechanical ventilation system with energy recovery that continuously supplies filtered fresh air while maintaining internal temperatures between 18 and 25 degrees celsius, delivering comfort and wellbeing year-round.
For Keyton, this villa is a working prototype, providing future learning. By monitoring how the home performs in partnership with its residents, the insights gained can help shape future retirement developments.
