The Context

Passivhaus buildings provide a high level of occupant comfort while using very little energy for heating and cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail and rigorous design and construction according to principles developed by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany, and can be certified through an exacting quality assurance process.

Over 30,000 Passivhaus buildings have been built in Europe and interest in Passivhaus is growing in the UK:

  • at least 70 projects either certified or in progress.
  • schools, offices, care homes and community buildings have all been certified
  • Passivhaus has been applied on refurbishment and multiple dwelling sites.
