I have had a few people reach out and ask about Passive House. It seems there are many "understandings" about it, from both within the construction industry and the people this industry serves (i.e home and building owners) So to empower you to know what a solution can be for reducing the energy footprint of the buildings you create and own, here is the information straight from the horses mouth. Its too easy to think we understand the story based on our past knowledge, and while Passive House isnt new, its new for many.

🏡 Efficient yet well-designed buildings - that's what Matthew Goldschmied, RVI Architectural Design, wants to see from new #retrofit projects "Retrofit is a very dull word to describe a beautiful ambition… to enhance life for human beings every day through good design and considerate specification of buildings." "Good retrofit design requires the selection, coordination and installation of materials and technology into a building to enhance the quality of people’s lives. Without good design and skilled installation, the success of a nationwide retrofit programme will fail." Discover how that can be done and why it's so important in the final instalment of our retrofit webinar series 📆 3 July, 12:00 - 12:45 👉 https://ow.ly/4pnq50SkIv4 South London Partnership, Retrofit Skills Centre, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Greater South East Net Zero Hub #Retrofitting #Design #Architecture

As the Future Homes Standard deadline approaches, early collaboration is proving essential to meet new Building Regulations.

Did you know that London’s cooling demand is growing faster than in any other global city? Despite the city’s small residential population, cooling demand grew by 5% per year between 1980 and 2022. So, what does this mean for architects, property developers, and property owners? Mitigating overheating should be a top priority in new and existing London developments. Fortunately, a number of sustainable architecture practices can help to keep buildings cool, including passive cooling techniques, efficient insulation, and energy-saving features.

We're so grateful for another 5 star review. Energy efficiency is such an important factor in how we design and build SIPs homes. With sustainable building practices, we'll continue to play a positive role in tackling the climate crisis. #sips #sipsbuild #ecobuild #homebuilding #selfbuild #selfbuilduk #selfbuilding #selfbuildhomes #homeinspiration #energyefficient #architect #architects #architecture #homedesign #housedesign #sipsdesign #sipsbuild #sustainablebuilding #sustainableconstruction #sipsconstruction #ecobuilding

Planning Pop Quiz: Spot the Density. Can you figure out the correct density order of the following buildings from highest to lowest density? Put your responses in the comments below:   In Planning, the term ‘density’ is most often defined as the number of residential units per acre. For example, 100 units on 10 acres would be a density of 10 dwelling units/acre (abbreviated du/ac). But what does that mean and look like in our communities? The pictures below highlight different types of developments and densities throughout Columbus and show that density isn’t always what you might think.  See these and hundreds more density examples from Columbus at the Columbus Development Database: https://lnkd.in/gCAgX5Fn Columbus Department of Development American Planning Association, Ohio Chapter #columbusohio #planning #development #architecture #design #historicpreservation #becauseweplan #infilldevelopment #density #thisplacematters
