Inbuilt gains official Passivhaus status

Inbuilt has been awarded the official status of Certifying Body for Passivhaus buildings.

Passivhaus is a design methodology for ultra low energy buildings, promoted by the Passivhaus Institut in Germany.

Inbuilt is now one of a select number of organisations in the UK, and just 20 worldwide, who are accredited by the Passivhaus Institut to offer certification services.

Certification provides a robust assessment of a building's predicted energy use and allows an architect or builder to claim the Passivhaus tag for a building and to market it as meeting the scheme's performance standards.

In the UK, only three individual buildings have been formally certificated so far.

Inbuilt has been offering Passivhaus design and consultancy services for almost two years, and is currently working on several residential projects involving more than 90 dwellings, as well as applying the principles to refurbishment schemes and non-domestic buildings.
