Passivhaus Workshop
National Selfbuild & Renovation Centre, Swindon (just off J16 M4)
Doors open from 9am-5pm

This Passivhaus Workshop is being run in partnership with the Passivhaus Trust and is a FREE event!

There are also full size houses, educational tours and a cafe.

The concept of Passivhaus is to prioritise low energy usage together with high comfort and good indoor air quality in any type of building. We spend almost 70% of our time at home, so buildings play an important part in our health and wellbeing.

If you want the following in your newbuild home, then this is the right event for you:

• comfortable temperatures that are easily maintained whatever the weather using very little energy
• constant fresh filtered air
• 90% reductions in energy needed for heating
• a rigorous quality control process requiring craftsmanship and buildings that are built with care
• a Passivhaus seal of approval guaranteeing certainty of performance

The most successful and cost-effective way of achieving Passivhaus is by incorporating the standard before your designs are complete. It’s also useful if the Passivhaus elements are included in your planning application. 

Featuring guided educational tours and real life case studies, this is an event not to be missed by anyone interested in Passivhaus.
