Tom Roberts of PHT patron WARM will give a presentation about the Passivhaus accreditation and explore its use in the UK construction industry. He will use local examples and answer audience questions.
In the late 1980s, Feist began developing the Passivhaus standard to help eliminate the energy performance gap present in the construction sector. Since then Passivhaus has expanded massively in the UK. There have been pioneering schemes delivered for a variety of projects, including swimming pools, high rise retrofits and SEN schools. This has resulted in whole life carbon and cost savings being realised.
The use of the design criteria has also contributed to a reduction in fuel poverty in social housing schemes where Passivhaus has been delivered. This includes the RIBA Stirling Prize winning Goldsmith Street project, as well as local schemes, such as Bodmin Road, Plymouth.
