Passive House Certified Level 1 & 2 ATTIMA & IATS

Developed in Germany in the 1990’s, the Passivhaus Standard (Passive House) is the fastest growing energy performance standard in the world. The standard promotes a robust approach to building design – to create a dwelling that has an excellent thermal performance, coupled with exceptional air tightness and heating which can be recovered and circulated by a Mechanical Ventilation & Heat Recovery (MVHR) Unit.

Some of the key attributes of the Passive House dwelling include:

  • • Super insulation – ensuring excellent heat retention within the building.

  • • Excellent Air tightness – the house has so few gaps and holes that almost no air can enter the building other than through the           carefully controlled MVHR unit. 

  • • Passive solar gain – carefully placed windows mean the sun will warm the building naturally.

  • • Low energy appliances – the most energy efficient appliances can dramatically help you reduce your energy consumption.

  • • Renewable energy sources – using solar PV and thermal, wind or other renewable sources allows you to be even more energy             independent.

Our team of air test engineers are familiar with carrying out air leakage testing on Passive House buildings, including: the full suite of services as mentioned above. This is to guarantee you the results required for Passive House Air Pressure Testing ≤ 0.6 ACH. (Air Changes an Hour)

Such is the experience of our Passive House certified ATTMA and iATS engineers we were commissioned to undertake all the required Air Leakage Testing for the first Passive House care home to be built in the UK at Juniper House, Brackley. We were also delighted to be invited to check the performance of the first affordable and social housing development built to Passive House standards in Wimbish near Saffron Walden, following installation changes post completion.

With our extensive knowledge bank, ATSPACE provides Vlogs, Blogs, Free Checklists and other documentation if interested to assist you in your Compliance for Passive House Air Pressure Testing.

Our fully accredited Passive House Air tightness engineers have conducted air testing for over 12,000 customers, surpassing 115,000 air tests and over 1700 Passive house air pressure tests in total since ATSPACE was formed.

Making this standard as simplistic as possible by using our full suite of expertise from our amazing proactive team, along with our video knowledge bank, checklists and simplistic strategy, we have everything to get you your 100% passive house air pressure testing compliance.

Passive house standard is a relatively new concept developed in Germany in the 1990's, and it is the future of construction. If you want an energy efficient home built to last, with lower running costs, then passive house is for you.

Do you want:

  • • Lower running costs for your build?

  • • Better home comfort?

  • • Lower environmental footprint?

Passive house, I believe, is the fastest growing building standard. This concept can change the course of construction. Eco builds are becoming more popular each year, and with passive house standards, the future is bright. There are many bonuses to building passive. Firstly, you will benefit from lower energy bills, occupancy comfort, and a lower environmental footprint. With passive house, it is an all or nothing approach, but the end result is worth every second.

As an EXPERT in my field, and as an accredited iATS level 2 Air Tester, I was involved with the FIRST commercial care home that reached passive house standards. The outcome was a complete success. I immersed myself in the entire process, from the design stage through to the test completion. Passive house standard is a concept that we will all employ when building. It is not a matter of ‘if’, it's more a case of ‘when’; the future is passive.

 ATSPACE has a customer satisfaction score of over 95%, and a huge 86% of these customers have returned to work with ATSPACE on other projects. The clients are the driving force behind the company, and ATSPACE has become the UK’s No 1 compliance company.

We have the biggest knowledge bank in our industry, and we continue to answer questions, make videos, and write blogs. All of these are published on the ATSPACE website and social media.

Knowledge is power, and it's this outlook that has given ATSPACE the edge since 2008.

What is a Passive House Air Test?

Passive House Air Tests are different to the standard Air Test, for a passive house we have to work out the volume of the build, the volume of the area inside it, we then pressurise the building.

Who Do You Call for an Air Tightness Test?

ATSPACE won’t be beaten on price! Remember the company you use needs to be registered!

Should I have a Pre Air Test?

To get the best from your build, it’s always better to highlight any areas of concern before test day. Benefit from your engineers’ experience!
