Our designs optimise natural light, thermal performance, and occupant comfort while minimising environmental impact. We deliver detailed planning applications and building regulation documentation.
Passivhaus Certification
As certified European Passivhaus designers, we offer expert guidance for achieving Passivhaus and EnerPHit standards. Our services include PHPP calculations, thermal bridging analysis, and airtightness strategy development. We support both new builds and retrofit projects to meet rigorous energy efficiency requirements while ensuring occupant comfort and air quality.

Our services include renewable technology assessments, carbon footprint analysis, and compliance with local authority sustainability requirements. We provide feasibility reports that balance environmental performance with budgetary constraints and long-term maintenance considerations.

Our airtightness specialists create detailed strategies to eliminate heat loss through building fabric. We produce technical drawings and on-site guidance for critical junctions, conduct 2D thermal analysis, and provide psi-value calculations. This ensures compliance with Passivhaus standards and improves overall building energy performance.
