Passivhaus is a rigorous standard for building designs. Passivhauses often use 90 per cent less heating and cooling energy than a typical home. They are so well designed and insulated that a full, traditional heating system is not considered necessary.

We delivered the first certified oak-framed Passivhaus in the country, supported by Certified Passive House Consultant, David Bryan.

The oak frame is wrapped in a specific version of our encapsulation system, WrightWall Natural. The joist panels come pre-installed with membranes and battening on the inside for pipes and cables. This bypasses the need to penetrate the airtight layer.

We explain these principles in more detail with you. You can integrate the low-energy principles of Passivhaus design, even if full certification is not your target.
