🦹‍♀️Delivering buildings without the 'performance gap' is one of Passivhaus’ superpowers!

Monitoring data from the first year of Riverside Primary - the first Passivhaus certified school in Scotland - demonstrates exceptional in-use performance results.

projectscot.com/2025...

I don’t think people have realised the power of predictable performance, and perfomance monitoring of Passivhaus to derisk finance.

“During a particularly hot weather period in September 2024 with an external peak temperature of almost 28C, Riverside’s average building temperature internally was 22C, demonstrating the resilience of Passivhaus design for overheating and future climate resilience.”

😭Sad to have missed the recent Passivhaus Open Days?

Never fear - an opportunity to go around a completed #Passivhaus project in Huddersfield is taking place 20-21 September during the Heritage Open Days.

In my latest podcast I'm chatting to the Managing Director of 21 Degrees. He's got a beginner's guide to creating a comfortable home. Expect a bit of physics... but the good news we can do this! Andy explains how.

Condensation Calculation | Good Design vs Condensation & Mould Condensation, and its ugly cousin Mould, are unfortunately an all too common problem in many buildings.  Happily, both issues are simple to avoid in new buildings through the use of good design.

Strategies for keeping cool in a Passivhaus on the beach The Passivhaus strategies are rooted in traditional Mediterranean vernacular architecture and combined with modern solutions.

Can Passivhaus work by the beach in a hot Mediterranean climate?

Yes, it can — and beautifully so in this certified Passive House just 50m from the sea in Barcelona, reducing cooling demand by almost 50%.

Healthy and energy efficient single storey new home in Essex built with largely biobased materials such as timber, straw and clay. The building is finished with black materials including timber cladding and corrugated metal roof, paying homage to the existing farm buildings in the background.

Love the connection between the wheat grown on the farm and straw insulation used in the walls 🌾
