Paul Kealey

Paul Kealey is the founder and president of EkoBuilt and a Certified Passive House Consultant with nearly two decades of experience designing and building high-performance homes and multi-unit developments across North America. A former teacher turned builder, Paul has become a leading advocate for the idea that the healthiest and most affordable home is the one with the lowest lifetime cost of ownership.

His work focuses on reducing energy, maintenance, and operating costs through Passive House and Net Zero construction, helping homeowners, developers, and investors create buildings that are more resilient, comfortable, and financially sustainable.

Through his writing, speaking engagements, and industry collaborations, Paul challenges conventional thinking by arguing that true housing affordability should be measured over the life of the building, not simply by its upfront construction cost.
