Made In Place start on site with EnerPHit scheme

PHT members, Made In Place is partnering with BRE Group (Building Research Establishment) for its first Passivhaus design project; Meticulously redesigning a 1970s home, focusing on brilliant insulation, airtight windows and doors, and on utilising sunlight as much as possible aims to acheive EnerPHit certification.

We believe that building a house to these (Passivhaus) standards is the best answer to overcoming resource squandering and fuel poverty. Made in Place

The design rules are simple and robust. Made in Place believe that combined with renewables, these types of homes could be unbeatable in the reduction of people's carbon footprints, and their gas and electricity bills.

The house is oriented east/west rather that south facing as Passivhaus prefers, however, as this is a retrofit, it should not pose too many problems that cannot be overcome. Planning approval and funding is in place, and structural repairs to the existing strucure is underway.
