Passivhaus Building Method Providing maximum comfort with almost no carbon emission,
this is a good option for the environmentally conscious amongst us. With
projects spreading from Europe through to Asia and even north America, in
numbers as high as 50,000, the proof is in the pudding when it comes to the ever-rising
influence of this eco-friendly building method.
This month’s blog here at Rendtek Ltd looks at the
advantages of the Passivhaus building method. For more information, call us in Anglesey on 07737 572 261 .
Cost Effectiveness Long term savings are not the only financial benefit of the
Passivhaus, they are surprisingly cheap altogether. Although these houses
require higher quality building components, this is evened out due to more expensive
heating and cooling systems not being required.
Spending this money instead on energy preserving features
will increase the long-term energy saving capabilities of the property.
Weber EWI This uniquely designed mineral render only requires one coat
to be applied for maximum effectiveness, reducing the overall cost of the surface
it is applied to. To ensure its reliability, this BBA approved product is made using only
the finest quality raw materials, with everything being ready mixed for
immediate and efficient use. These factors make this product an ideal and
recommended option for passivehause building projects.
A Proven Method The first project completed under these standard dates to
1991, and since this landmark over 50,000 buildings have been completed,
including but not limited to schools, houses and offices. Across these
completed projects, close monitoring has confirmed that they live up to what
they promised prior to completion, leading to the ever-increasing popularity of
this method.
Keeping annual
heating load below 15 kWh per property annually, this is a step in the right
direction as far as environmental preservation is concerned.
Features The efficiency of the Passivhaus method is down to its
features which set them apart from your average building project:
High heat flow resistance means there are no “outside
walls” that are colder than other walls. High quality insulation minimises heat exchange with
exterior environments, in turn cutting energy usage. Superior windows further boost insulation due to
windows having low heat conductivity. Airtight construction cuts any unwanted airflow
between interior and exterior environments.
