Passivhaus Consultancy
What is Passivhaus?
Passivhaus is the leading international design standard for low energy, comfortable, high quality affordable buildings.
Our Process:
Our services include a rigorous analysis on design development of form and fabric efficiency plus incorporations of appropriate ventilation systems, solar power and renewable power technologies using modelling software for predicted performance accuracy.
For Passivhaus accreditation, we model the designed thermal envelope to test its performance, and input the data into PHPP to test for compliancy. We also model all key thermal bridging details to ensure a continuous thermal envelope is achieved, with no leakages.
“We have worked with Clive Chapman on several Passivhaus projects.
Their team is very knowledgeable in PHPP and can produce beautiful, efficient, low-energy and Passivhaus buildings.”
- Jesus Menendez, Director, Zero Energy Passivhaus
