Summary
As Passivhaus continues to deliver high-performance buildings with low running costs, larger developments are adopting the standard. Whilst we have seen some large developments in the UK they have remained modest in height.
In this Masterclass, experienced Passivhaus experts Tomas O’Leary and Jessica Grove-Smith will share their knowledge and experience of large and high-rise Passivhaus developments referencing research studies and completed tall Passivhaus developments in Vienna, New York City and Bilbao. The event will cover approaches to high-rise design, practical construction details, building services and personal experience.
