Glen Cottages is a two-storey extension project we completed last year just outside Bristol, transforming an old stone cottage. Read all about it and see more photos here. 
The preliminary air test was carried out on our Nailsea Passive House project on Friday 9th February, achieving the excellent result of 0.27ACH. The house is due for Passivhaus certification once completed but at the moment we are at first fix stage - air tight and weathertight - hence the preliminary test. The result required for Passive compliance is 0.6 ACH @ 50 Pascals and the figure achieved was 0.27 ACH (lower is better). This is a great result and as ever testament to the hard work and attention to detail shown by our guys on site - well done!   Join us a for talk and tour of our latest new build passivhaus project in Nailsea - a three-bedroomed house on an urban infill site. We have joined forces with The Green Register for this special event on February 22nd. Richard Hatfield will start by talking about our involvement in the project followed by Piers Sadler talking specifically about the attention to detail required for passivhaus certification. Greenheart director Malcolm McMahon will then give an overview of the project, a tour around the house and site followed by a Q&A session. Place are very limited so visit The Green Register website for more information and to book.  Passivhaus under construction by sustainable builders Greenheart  We have set to work on the refurbishment and extension of a tired 1950's two-storey house in Backwell, near Bristol, designed in collaboration with s2 design. A large two-storey, open plan Timber frame extension will have lots of glass to the rear of the building to make the most of the views over the Severn estuary, with WARMCEL insulation and high spec triple glazed windows keeping it snug. The existing house will be fully refurbished with new windows, improved levels of insulation and new interior layout.  |
