The Passivhaus standard and methodology can help the UK construction industry create buildings which use 90% less energy for space heating than the standard. Green Building Store believes Passivhaus design offers the most effective – and cost-effective – strategy for ‘low carbon’ construction in the UK.
Green Building Store supplies a range of specialist Passivhaus products and now also offer PHPP design services, consultancy and training. Our construction division Green Building Company recently completed construction of the Denby Dale Passivhaus in West Yorkshire – subject of BUILDING’s Passivhaus Diaries. This blog is dedicated to what happened next and features regulsr updates from the owners of the house as to what it is really like living in a Passivhaus. It may also include from time to time rants/musings on sustainable construction and the burgeoning Passivhaus movement in the UK.
