PASSIVHAUS

​

The principles of Passivhaus can be applied across all parameters of construction, small extensions - renovations - new build.Utilising the building science behind Passivhaus we are able to design and advise with confidence that a building will perform to the best levels of energy conservation as well as creating a comfortable and healthy environment.

​

• Passivhaus is the worlds leading standard of construction to reduce active energy demands by 90%.

• It is Legislation in many cities and administrative districts - a comprehensive list of whom is available in this link https://passivehouse-international.org/index.php?page_id=501

• In the UK, councils are moving towards zero carbon strategies and announcing climate emergencies.

• For some time the Passivhaus Trust and architects such as myself in roles as Certified Passivhaus Designers have been promoting the awareness, health, energy and economic benefits of constructing to this standard. 

• Over 65,000 buildings have been constructed to this standard worldwide and we have an ever expanding database of UK buildings - http://passivhausbuildings.org.uk/passivhaus.php

• We are on the cusp of a wave of acceptance and regulation of Passivhaus and it’s associated retrofit standard, EnerPHit.
