Great to have the @peterwarm team inspecting our #Passivhaus sites this week. Blairgowrie, Dundee and Glasgow in a whirlwind tour. Great to get the advice and support for our teams.

After very typical Scottish weather over the last few months, great to see East End Dundee Campus progressing with the #Passivhaus super structure taking form. Fantastic to see windows going in and the care and attention to air tightness already showing. Well done to everyone.
Fantastic in-person and virtual audience attendance @ioauk Scottish Branch for Matt Bridgestock of @johngilbertarch and @WeAreSussed presentation on Passivhaus lessons learned explaining the basics of Passivhaus including issues around Noise. @RESGroup Glasgow
Getting into the nitty-gritty of what certification might look like for the Scottish equivalent of Passivhaus during #UKPHC23 Passivhaus Conference. Thanks to @55n@RupertDaly@johngilbertarch@WeAreSussed for outlining potential approaches.
Great to see this school opening. First major completion for @WeAreSussed team working collaboratively the Architects @HolmesMiller and rest of design team!
Lovely to visit my first non-domestic #Passivhaus project, Buntingford first school today, opening on Tuesday!
Designed to be super comfy year-round, with excellent air quality and lovely spaces. Low embodied carbon, low energy in use, roof full of PV. 💪 @johngilbertarch
Airtightness testing recently at the Sciennes project we're working on under the @WeAreSussed banner. Designed by @HolmesMiller and built by @MaxiConstruct
Excellent results!!!!
#Passivhaus standard of 0.6 ACH (Air Changes per Hour) has been bettered on our D&B classroom building at Sciennes Primary School with final air test results of 0.17 ACH occupied conditions (MVHR systems operating) & 0.28 ACH night-time conditions (MHVR systems off) @Edinburgh_CC

‘We’re going to need a smaller fan’… great to support this project through the site phase as part of @WeAreSussed. Awesome result is equivalent to a 10% reduction in residual space heating demand - equivalent to 100mm less insulation to all walls! I.e. Quality can reduce costs!
Delighted to see the formal site start on our East End Campus project with @HolmesMiller and associated team. Sussed are #Passivhaus designers working with @peterwarm are helping the team work towards certification.
Lots of learning and collaboration on this huge project.
Our Passivhaus project at Sciennes Primary includes thermally broken foundations, quadruple glazing, air source heat pumps & a MVHR system which will mitigate ventilation heat losses by up to 90%!
