BUILD YOUR DREAM
Building a new property affords you the freedom to determine exactly what materials and techniques will be used. This could be a timber frame construction, or something more conventional.
By starting a project from scratch, you can vastly improve the energy performance of your home compared with standard Building Regulations. Saving you money and helping the environment.
Passive House construction comes with numerous benefits:
LOVER ENERGY BILLS AND PROTECTION FROM FUEL PRICE RISES
CLEANER, HEALTHIER AIR QUALITY INSIDE
PEACE AND QUIET WHEN THE WINDOWS ARE SHUT
MORE WALL SPACE, AS YOU DON’T NEED ANY RADIATORS
WARM, SNUG ROOMS IN WINTER, AND COOLER ROOMS IN SUMMER
LOW MAINTENANCE COSTS, WITH FEWER EXPENSIVE REPAIRS

What’s Wrong with Conventional Building Techniques?
Evidence gathered to date shows that Passivhaus buildings perform to the standard at which they are built. This is crucial, given that many new buildings in the UK suffer from a large discrepancy between design aspiration and as-built performance. Shockingly, the difference can be as much as 50-100%!
EcoVert’s Certified Passive House Tradespeople help ensure that this gap is eliminated.
