Passivhaus Institute

We certify buildings to the Passivhaus building standard on behalf of the Passivhaus Institute, Darmstadt. We are one of only four companies carrying out Passivhaus certification and based in the UK.

International collaboration

We are part of an international community of low energy building specialists. We share experience to improve construction quality and learn. Below are some of the Passivhaus Certifiers from around the World at the international certifiers meeting in Darmstadt 2016. Spot Will!
