Passive House isn’t a buzzword. It’s a high-performance building standard that demands airtight construction, superior ventilation, and energy systems that dramatically reduce a building’s carbon footprint. We took that challenge head-on, coordinating and executing a full suite of mechanical systems that keep the building comfortable year-round while significantly cutting energy use. True Mechanical supplied and installed:

Six high-efficiency Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERVs) located on the roof, providing dedicated suite ventilation and corridor pressurization.

A VRF heat pump system also installed on the roof, connected to six ceiling-mounted coils — one for each suite — delivering energy-efficient heating and cooling.

Four CO₂ heat pumps coupled with four 120-gallon storage tanks and a 6kW electric swing tank to meet domestic hot water demands efficiently.

A Brentwood modular stormwater detention system — a scope typically handled by civil contractors but one we took on to ensure quality and project integration.


The Brentwood system is a perfect example of how True Mechanical steps up. By self-performing a traditionally civil scope, we kept the project on track and under tighter quality control — because when it comes to high-performance buildings, every system matters.

Success at The Peak came down to planning, precision, and partnership. From roof to slab, we coordinated closely with the project team to ensure every mechanical element met the Passive House targets and was installed with zero compromise. This project reflects what we do best: tackle complexity, lead with expertise, and deliver performance. The Peak isn’t just a building — it’s proof that good mechanical work doesn’t just meet standards. It sets them.
