What does Passivhaus Cost?
The Trust’s 2013 research identified that figures quoted for Passivhaus costs may be calculated differently and include different elements. This presently makes it impossible to make useful comparisons.
The Trust & Jane Barnes, Senior Project Manager at Aecom, have developed a cost template to use when reporting the costs of Passivhaus. These metrics will then be used to compare costs of Passivhaus housing across a range of sites for both new build and retrofits. Comparisons will be made by house type, size and tenure, to ensure that like-for-like costs are reported.
The template is intended to record costs for selected case studies, starting with terraced housing (already complete) and moving on to apartments and retrofit housing. A report on the comparison findings will be published later this year.
