To achieve this,
let us introduce Passive House Design
Passive House is the leading standard for energy-efficient and net-zero design. It focuses on achieving certified targets and high-quality construction to deliver buildings with high levels of comfort and improved well-being using very little energy for heating or cooling. As such, its impact on nature is greatly reduced.
Why Passive House
quantifying the benefits for you*
* Based on savings for three people living in a 90m2 Passivhaus home over 25 years, compared to a typical new build
** Cumulative CO2 emissions in tonnes from 2021 to 2050

How Passive House works
Passive House involves:
1. Energy analysis using Passive House digital tools
2. Adequate insulation
3. High-performance windows
4. Airtight building fabric
5. No thermal leaks
6. Ventilation systems that use heat from extracted air to warm the fresh air coming in
7. Identify renewable resources (if any) to maximise sustainable performance
8. Removal of any performance gap that might occur during construction
