Passiv House Low Energy Homes

Passiv House Low Energy Homes

Passive House is not only one of the world’s leading energy efficiency standards but also a construction concept made to build comfortable, environmentally friendly and affordable homes and buildings.

Established by the Passivhaus Institute in Darmstadt, Germany in 1996, “passive house” was one of the pioneering concepts for building low-energy houses and is today a leading building standard. The design is focused on making best use of the “passive” influences in a building – like sunshine, shading and ventilation – rather than active heating and cooling systems such as air conditioning and central heating. Coupled with very high levels of insulation and airtightness, this makes it possible for a passive home to use 90 percent less energy1 than a typical dwelling.

Passive House homes and buildings offer superior indoor comfort due to consistent temperatures and good air quality. They also have the added benefit of reducing both external and internal noise due to the high levels of insulation.

Stairhill are experienced in designing and building low energy homes with an in-house Certified Passive House Designer, fully accredited Air Tightness Testers, and Quidos on Construction Energy Assessor.

Our fully qualified and experienced team ensure both the design and construction meets with the expecting standards. Regular site checks and testing throughout the construction stage ensure the build meets with the design standards.
