The owner of this new home came to one of our festival events about the Passivhaus method of building low-energy homes a few years ago, and got inspired!
The result is Daisy Bank Cottage, which incorporates some key features of Passivhaus construction, but has been self-built in a local style and on a tight budget, mainly using standard building materials.
The owner and builder, Alex Burn, kindly opened his home for us last year while it was in construction. Now that it's complete and being lived in, Alex has invited us back, to see how it's turned out. Alex describes the house as fairly standard build, but with lots of details that make it warmer and more airtight, using materials that are readily available. It achieved an impressive result in its final airtightness test (0.4 m3/(h.m2) @ 50 Pa).
Here are a few of the featuers of the house:
There are three time options for this open home visit. This booking is for the 10:30am slot.
Book for the 12pm slot instead
Alex sourced his windows and doors from Green Building Store, who are experts in Passivhaus technologies. Join them for two talks in one great event: an introduction to Passivhaus, and specifying windows for energy performance. Find out more
