Energy Architecture

The core focus of the Passive House Standard is comfort.

The dramatic reductions in energy consumption (and consequently CO2 emissions) are essentially a side benefit of focusing on the health and wellbeing of the people using buildings.

By adopting a fabric-first approach during design, comfort is easily achieved and space heating and cooling demands drop to negligible levels.

The Passive House standard is 3 decades old and is subject to continual  improvements through research on completed projects. No other approach to delivering high performance architecture has such a strong evidential basis.

Expectations of how new buildings should perform are low. To deliver real change, we need a fundamentally different approach that delivers on a promise of comfort, wellbeing and performance.

The tried and tested solution is the Passive House Standard. A proven international building standard, developed, tested and verified over the last three decades and used around the world today.

The Passive House Standard sits quietly at the heart of what we do, ensuring that beautiful designs are always healthy building environments.

In addition to our Passive House skill set, we also have experience in delivering the following service as and when required for our projects:

• Air permeability testing
• Interstitial condensation assessments
• Designing for prefabrication
