Tooketree Passive Homes is dedicated to revolutionizing the building industry. We manufacture state-of-the-art prefab building systems that are better for your health and the planet.
Our SEED building systems help home builders achieve the world’s highest standards for energy efficiency, sustainability, comfort, and durability. Our CSA-certified panels meet rigorous health and environmental criteria.
SEED (Sustainable, Ecological, Efficient, Durable) building systems help you save time and money. Wall, floor, and roof panels are manufactured in a controlled environment in our Central Ontario facility. Installation can be completed in a matter of days, resulting in a sealed, insulated building envelope that is ready for rough-ins and cladding.
Tooketree Passive Homes is committed to providing a solution to the climate crisis. Our panels are ultra-insulated with natural materials that sequester carbon. We limit the creation of waste and unnecessary energy consumption through our controlled manufacturing process.

The Benefits of Building with our SEED Panels
Sustainable, Ecological, Efficient, Durable
Sustainable and Ecological
We use natural and non-toxic materials to prioritize the health and safety of inhabitants. Quality, safety, and comfort come first.
We’re dedicated to the decarbonization of the built environment. Our ecologically responsible practices and material choices lead home building into a safe and sustainable future. Tooketree is a CHBA Net Zero Qualified Builder and a member of Builders for Climate Action.
Efficient and Economical
Heating and cooling account for over 65% of the average Canadian homeowner’s utility expenses.
According to National Resources Canada heating your home makes up about 64% of your utility bill, while cooling is about 2%.
Statistics Canada reports that around 16% of middle-income households have had to cut back on basic needs like food and medicine, to pay for energy bills.
Home is where we relax and spend quality time with our families, friends and furry loved ones. Our homes shouldn’t weigh us down with worry about ongoing and unexpected expenses.
Tooketree Passive Homes provides proven energy efficiency through super-insulated, air-tight building envelopes, saving you money. Our homes are built to Passive House standards. Thermal bridging is minimized, and high-performance smart membranes help provide ultimate comfort indoors while protecting the building envelope.
Passive House buildings allow heating and cooling-related energy savings of up to 90% compared with typical building stock and over 75% compared with average new builds.
Our team includes Phius Certified Passive House Builders.
Durable
Tooketree homes and buildings are made to last for generations. High-quality design and solid fabrication are supported by high-performance air, water, and vapour control barriers, shear-resistant fasteners and connectors, and passive-house-quality triple-glazed windows.
Improved Speed and Quality
By pre-fabricating walls, roofs, and floors in our climate-controlled facility, we help homeowners and builders save time and money on their projects. Using SEED Panels reduces the impact of variables such as weather, uneven terrain, and delays that make building on-site a challenge, compromise quality, and add cost.
