Project Sectors I Project Gallery I Project Map

As Passivhaus continues to grow both in the UK and internationally, there has been an emerging demand for commercial projects. Activity levels tend to fluctuate more in commercial buildings compared to other settings, which can have a huge effect on comfort levels in terms of occupant health and productivity.
