As this project nears certification, we reflect on the 5 basic principles which apply to a Passive House:
• Thermal insulation
• Passive House windows
• Ventilation heat recovery
• Airtightness of the building
• Absence of thermal bridges

Did you know that Passive Houses allow for space heating and cooling related energy savings of between 75-90%? Very substantial energy savings are also possible with refurbishments of existing buildings. Here at Nixon Architecture we are proud to be a Certified Passive House Designer.
