ecofirst Consult

The 2010 and forthcoming 2013 Building Regulations and all levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes (especially levels 5 and 6) will require high levels of insulation and air tightness; we recommend good passive low carbon design in the first instance. Our in-house qualified PHPP consultant can design PassivHaus certifiable dwellings, with the help of our qualified architect, architectural technician and M&E consultant, using their specialist knowledge of modern construction systems, air management and heat recovery systems. Highly insulated and airtight construction can cause building designs to overheat if incorrectly designed. We offer sophisticated thermal modelling to demonstrate that overheating does not become an issue in any new build design, and to confirm the efficiency of our recommended passive measures.
