Noviun Architects become Passivhaus Designers

We are delighted that both architects have now become certified Passivhaus Designers and Consultants having passed their recent exam in December.

Passive House buildings are described as:

Pass­ive House build­ings are en­ergy ef­fi­cient build­ings that provide users with high levels of com­fort and ex­cel­lent air qual­ity around the clock. They may not look any dif­fer­ent from oth­er build­ings, but good plan­ning as well as care­ful ex­e­cu­tion of the de­tails is es­sen­tial in the con­struc­tion of such pro­jects. This en­sures that the high re­quire­ments for the build­ing en­vel­ope and tech­no­logy can be met. As a res­ult, build­ing pro­fes­sion­als need ad­di­tion­al ex­pert­ise which can be ac­quired and sub­stan­ti­ated with Pass­ive House courses.

With Climate Change becoming an ever increasing crisis, the Passivhaus Trust describe the need for Passivhaus design standards as:

We are in a climate emergency. Buildings are a significant culprit of carbon emissions – accountable for 35% of total global energy consumption. Passivhaus is a leading international design standard, slashing energy use from buildings AND delivering high standards of comfort and health. Over 65,000 buildings have been certified to this standard worldwide.

With this news Noviun are able to actively contribute to improving the quality of our buildings using the Passivhaus principles.
