PassivHaus and EnerPHit


With specialist training from the PassivHaus Institut and AECB among others. Our architectural services cover Passive House projects aiming for energy efficient benchmarks outlined by the PassivHaus Institut. 

With experience and insight into best construction techniques for achieving the 0.6 ach airtightness rating within the building, we can offer planning and designs that avoid the typical pitfalls when aiming to build a passive house. 

We do this primarily through a our designs, but can also give toolbox talks and advice to contractors undertaking the construction, given the heavy emphasis proper workmanship has on achieving passive house benchmarks.
