BioPasiva is a construction company based in the Madrid area that focuses on custom-built, energy-efficient homes using modern wood structures. The organisation has over 30 years of experience in the field and claims to be among the pioneers of the Passivhaus standard in Spain, having completed the first certified Passivhaus home in Madrid and the fifth such building in the country. Their first showroom served as a demonstration of these standards.
The company manages projects with a team of nearly 100 professionals involved both directly and indirectly in design and construction processes. BioPasiva offers clients full control over their home’s design, materials, and construction details, emphasizing transparency throughout the process. Clients can choose to engage BioPasiva as a general contractor or work with recommended professionals directly, reducing intermediaries and potentially lowering costs.
BioPasiva’s work is characterised by the use of bioclimatic architectural principles and high-quality materials, guaranteeing at least an A energy rating for the building envelope. A notable recent project is Casa Sophia, located in Madrid. According to external and internal reporting, Casa Sophia achieved Passivhaus premium certification and set a benchmark for water and energy efficiency. It demonstrated 73% water savings compared to standard homes, zero electrical bills over months, and the reuse or recycling of all construction waste.
BioPasiva’s activities remain focused on custom housing, aiming for environmental and economic sustainability while integrating contemporary technical solutions.
