Successful site visit

19/3/2019

Thanks to all who attended our site visit in Colerne last week. We enjoyed the opportunity to discuss this near-Passivhaus project with attendees and answer some interesting questions. Feedback was positive and everyone seemed to enjoy the opportunity to tour the building, which is at structural/first fix stage. Huge thanks to Piers Sadler, The Green Register for co-organising this event and of course the clients!

It was an exciting day for clients Terry and Frank at our Passive House project in Nailsea this week, as they met with Richard Simon, Director of Solarsense and energy consultant Piers Sadler to hand over the renewables package prior to commissioning and learn how the various elements of the system work, using the latest technology.

Richard Simon, Director of Solarsense, demonstrates the smartphone technology that operates the renewables package for clients Terry & Frank's new Passive House while energy consultant Piers Sadler looks on.

The package includes a whole roof integrated 7.3KW PV system, a Mitsubishi air source heat pump with thermal store and the latest TESLA battery – Powerwall 2 - for storage.

Once registered with TESLA all the data can be monitored via an App on a smartphone, laptop or tablet.

The house, which achieved preliminary air test results of 0.27ACH back in February is almost complete and ready to be signed off as a certified Passivhaus - the first in the wider Bristol area.

Successful Passive House Site Visit with The Green Register

We joined forces with The Green Register last week to offer a site visit to our current Passive House project in Nailsea, near Bristol.

Twenty construction professionals braved the cold to visit the Station Rd project, which isn't yet Passivhaus-certified but has already achieved an outstanding preliminary air test result of 0.27ACH. Attendees had the opportunity to look around the site, ask questions and listen to presentations from Greenheart's Richard Hatfield and Passivhaus consultant Piers Sadler.

“Richard and I were really pleased with the event - those attending seemed to find it interesting and useful to visit a Passive House project which is still under construction. This gave everyone the ability to see in “real life” how and why the house was put together” said Greenheart Director Malcolm McMahon.

We hope to run many more site visits in partnership with The Green Register in the future - watch this space!
