As experts in the field of sustainable construction and building performance, ATSPACE was thrilled to take on this exciting challenge. Our initial assessment of the project revealed several complexities that needed to be addressed to achieve Passive House certification, particularly in terms of air tightness and ventilation. We worked closely with the client's design team to devise a comprehensive strategy that would enable them to achieve their goals.
Our first step was to conduct a detailed analysis of the existing building envelope, including an assessment of potential areas of air leakage. Using advanced equipment and industry-leading techniques, we were able to identify key areas of concern and develop a customised air sealing plan that would mitigate these issues. Once the air sealing plan was implemented, we then conducted rigorous air pressure testing to ensure that the newly sealed envelope was achieving the required levels of airtightness. This testing involved the use of specialised equipment and methodologies that allowed us to accurately measure the building's air infiltration rates.
Throughout the project, we maintained close communication with the client and their design team, providing regular updates and insights into the project's progress. Our team's deep expertise in sustainable construction, combined with our advanced technical capabilities, allowed us to deliver a successful outcome that met or exceeded all Passive House standards. The result was a set of beautifully renovated terrace houses that not only looked stunning but also provided the highest levels of energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor air quality for their occupants.
