Why Passivhaus?
The Passivhaus Standard is a 'building standard' rather than a rating system, and is the most proven and repeatable method for delivering actual levels of health, and energy efficiency, in the world.
It has a track record of proven performance outcomes, and is recognised internationally as the gold standard of building performance; with increased value being recognised for Passivhaus Certified homes.

The ProcessWEL offers services as Certified Passivhaus Designers, to guide you through the process to achieving certification.
The form and orientation of a building are key factors in the performance outcomes. To this end the earlier in the design process the Passivhaus Certification requirements are considered, the better. The first step is to produce the PHPP (Passivhaus Planning Package) energy model, to see what performance level the building is achieving. Once this is produced we can advice which certification level may be possible, and advise on the next steps. More information here: Passive House Get in touch now to discuss your project. |
