What is the Passivhaus Standard?
Passivhaus effectively addresses the significant disparity between anticipated and actual building performance. It facilitates the enhancement of designs throughout the planning phase and provides precise forecasts for future costs and payback periods associated with various components. By prioritizing a fabric-first strategy, this standard promotes a direct decrease in energy consumption through thoughtful design, rather than depending on supplementary features to achieve performance goals. This approach not only enhances the feasibility of projects but also reduces their environmental impact.
Passivhaus buildings are constructed with exceptional precision, adhering to the stringent design and construction standards established by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany. This process includes a thorough quality assurance system that ensures each building meets high performance criteria. As a result, these structures can achieve a remarkable 75% reduction in space heating needs compared to conventional new builds in the UK.
Significant reductions in energy usage are primarily achieved through a fabric-first design approach, which emphasises the importance of a well-insulated thermal envelope that boasts high levels of airtightness, along with the implementation of whole-house mechanical ventilation systems.
Constructing homes to Passivhaus Standards using a "fabric first" approach results in exceptionally energy-efficient buildings that significantly surpass current Building Regulations. By integrating additional renewable energy sources, we further enhance the sustainability of our custom new builds, pushing the limits of zero carbon living and minimizing their overall carbon footprint.
