Adopting a whole-building approach to design, Passivhaus is considered the most rigorous energy-based standard with certification.

Natural gas and petroleum release carbon into our atmosphere and accelerate climate change, but hydrogen can provide a less damaging alternative.

The UK government are proposing to ban gas boilers in all new homes from 2025 to make our housing design practices more sustainable. But why is this the case, and what’s the alternative?

It’s a well-known fact that 80% of today’s buildings will still be in use by 2050 – the deadline for the UK government’s net zero targets – so why is the energy efficiency of our existing building stock not given as much airtime as new projects?

Climate change and the climate emergency are complicated terms, so what do they mean in reality and what are the sustainable solutions?

Passivhaus standards and sustainable design are currently at the forefront of every industry conversation, and rightly so. Companies are more concerned than ever about maintaining high levels of energy efficiency and reducing the impact of their buildings on the surrounding environment.
