Visser Construction: Building the Most Energy-Efficient Homes in Alaska

When it comes to surviving and thriving in Alaska, efficiency is everything. From layering gear for subzero temperatures to optimizing every gallon of fuel and every minute of daylight, Alaskans know how to do more with less. At Visser Construction, we believe your home should do the same.

As one of the only Passive House-certified builders in Alaska, Visser Construction is leading the transition toward smarter, healthier and more resilient housing. The Passive House model isn’t just about energy savings, it’s a rigorous international standard that ensures your home is airtight, incredibly well insulated, and precisely ventilated for optimal performance and comfort.

Why Build a Passive House in Alaska?

Alaska’s extreme climate makes energy efficiency more than a preference, it’s a necessity. A certified Passive House uses up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling than a conventional home, and maintains a consistent indoor temperature year-round, even in the harshest conditions. That means no cold drafts, no condensation on windows and no wildly fluctuating energy bills.

Passive Houses are also quieter, healthier and more comfortable. Thanks to continuous fresh air ventilation and superior air sealing, indoor air quality is dramatically improved, a crucial feature in a state where we spend so much time indoors during the winter months.

Built to Last With Style

Visser Construction homes are high-performance by design. We integrate six inches of exterior insulation, raised heel trusses, triple-pane windows and in-floor radiant heat, all wrapped in modern, low-maintenance finishes that reflect our clients’ style. But what truly sets us apart is our commitment to Passive House principles, proven building science and client-centered design.

Whether you’re building your forever home, a smart investment property or simply want to reduce your environmental impact, Passive House is the future and we’re raising the bar now.

The Visser Legacy

We’re proud to be locally owned, Alaskan-grown and committed to raising the bar for what housing can be in our state. We don’t just build homes; we build durable, efficient and beautiful spaces that make life better for Alaskans and we do it with the kind of integrity you can only find in the Last Frontier.
