Hilary Kolinsky, Studio Skein – PAS 2038 Assessment & Testing
Passive House is an approach to building design that sets the highest standards of energy efficiency in the world. Ensuring the building envelope is airtight plays a key role in this, requiring more air tightness tests to be carried out using a more rigorous methodology than for standard properties.
Our local passive house air testing engineers are always delighted to work on Passive House projects because the end product – a super energy-efficient, airtight building – has a higher energy performance than a typical property.
Also referred to as “Passivhaus”, or low energy air tightness testing, the main variations between a normal project and a Passive House one include the standards set (you need to achieve far lower air leakage scores), the process followed (the building must be pressurised, then depressurised), and the number of tests required (at least three tests must be carried out along the construction timeline).
