Passivhaus is not just a building standard — it's a commitment to buildings that work for people and the planet. We're certified, experienced, and genuinely passionate about delivering it.
Talk to Us About Passivhaus →Passivhaus (Passive House) is a rigorous building standard that delivers measurable, real-world energy performance. It's not a design style — it's an engineering approach that results in buildings that are dramatically cheaper to run, more comfortable to live in, and better for the planet.
A certified Passivhaus building uses up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to a standard new build. This is achieved through super-insulation, airtight construction, high-performance windows, and mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR).
We have a genuine passion for Passivhaus and welcome any new build or retrofit project aiming for certification. Happy to answer questions — just straight talk about what it involves.
Extremely high levels of insulation across all surfaces — walls, roof and floor — to keep heat in during winter and out during summer.
Triple-glazed windows with thermally broken frames, carefully positioned to maximise passive solar gain in winter and minimise overheating in summer.
An airtight building envelope prevents uncontrolled heat loss and draughts, tested to a demanding standard during construction.
Eliminating cold bridges — spots where heat escapes through structural elements — through careful detailing at every junction and connection.
Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery continuously supplies fresh air while recovering over 90% of the heat from outgoing stale air — no draughts, no cold spots.
Passivhaus can feel complex at first. We're always happy to talk through any aspect of it — from whether it's right for your project to how the build process actually works.
Get in touch →Being Passivhaus certified means we've completed rigorous training and can design, specify and build to the standard. But more than that — we genuinely believe in it, and we bring that enthusiasm to every conversation.
We are proud members of the Passivhaus Trust — the UK's leading independent body promoting the Passivhaus standard.
Membership signals our commitment to delivering buildings that are built to genuinely perform.
