We are so excited to explore innovative design and to share what we learn with all of you! ✨

Join us Friday afternoon for an exclusive look at this new (almost complete) custom Passive House near Main Street by lanefab (we love lanefab). ✨

Note that this house is not for sale! Instead, this tour is intended to help spread the word about this wonderful style of energy-efficient home building. ✨

What is a #PassiveHouse? (#passivhaus)

Here’s some info via lanefab’s website:

✨ “Passive House” is an international standard for energy efficient buildings where a house (or any other type of building) is so well insulated and air tight that it can function without a primary heating system. Passive house projects deliver the highest level of comfort, and the most cost effective bundle of energy saving strategies.

✨ Like LEED, BuiltGreen (or other rating systems) there are Passive House organizations, such as PHI, CanPHI, or PHIUS, which can certify buildings - though many projects are built to the standard without going through certification.

✨ In contrast with these other rating systems, the PH rating focuses primarily on comfort and energy consumption (vs. LEED which looks at a wider range of green building issues) but PH goes well beyond LEED in this area - usually resulting in projects that use 90% less energy for space heating than a typical building.

✨ The typical passive house will have very thick walls and roofs, a fairly simple shape, and high performance windows and doors. Typical walls might be 12" to 24" thick (R35 to R60) and roofs might be 18" to 36" thick (R50 to R100). Windows are triple glazed or better, and doors usually have several levels of weatherstripping.

✨ One of the key criteria for achieving the passive house standard is having an airtightness rating less than 0.6 ACH (air changes per hour... i.e. 0.6x the volume of the house). The airtightness is assessed using a blower door apparatus.

This media/shelving unit was installed this week into Oak Tree house. This unit is mainly constructed out of 25mm birchply with bonded Alpine white laminate. Each worktop is made up of three pieces of 40mm thick full stave Oak. I worked very closely with the owners to create a design that worked for their needs and would also fit in with the rest of the property. I would like to say a special thanks to the owners who have been great throughout the whole process. Also a special thank you to rehpender for recommending me for the project.

Oak tree house was built by shawm_ltd and is a passive house with many interesting and outstanding features.
