The average household in the UK emits 2.7 tonnes of CO2 every year. A blue whale’s 🐋 tongue weighs the same. With energy efficiency and the state of our planet on everyone’s mind, let’s talk about Passivhaus.

Also known as Passive House, it’s a standard of energy efficiency in buildings - or in our case homes bringing energy wins and even a quieter, more comfortable and healthier place to live 🏡.

Our Technical Director, Rafael says "Building a passive house is like crafting a perfect bow tie - it combines engineering precision with a carbon-conscious approach. By harnessing cutting-edge technology and optimising energy efficiency, we weave sustainability into every thread, ensuring a home that is both environmentally responsible and fit for the future".

We could talk about it all day! See it in action👇
