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!

On 15th March we'll be collaborating again with The Green Register opening up our site at Eastrip Lane, Colerne for a Futureproof site visit and talk about this contemporary three-bedroomed timber frame house built to Passivhaus standards. The topics discussed in this tour and talk - materials used, MVHR, airtightness and methods of construction - are just as relevant to retrofit as new build projects. The building is timber frame constructed on site from 360mm timber I-beams and wrapped in 100mm Pavatex woodfibre boards. The external faces will be either render or geometric cement sheet panels, whilst the roof is anthracite corrugated cement sheet. Windows are from Internorm (Passivhaus certified). All walls and roof will be insulated with Warmcel 500 Cellulose insulation. The building is still under construction and so during the visit, it will be possible to see all aspects of the building fabric: air tightness layers, MVHR ducting, timber frame and Pavatex wood fibre. Places are limited. Visit The Green Register website for full details and to book online.    We are delighted to be teaming up with The Green Register once again to offer an Introduction to Sustainable Construction - the first of a series of half-day Futureproof training events, which are run 'By Builders For Builders'.
We'll be returning for a second look at the new build housing scheme for Somewhere Housing Association in Bedminster, Bristol. Alongside fellow local contractors Earthwise, we will talk about how our method of working results in high quality, sustainable buildings, satisfied clients and proud builders Ian Mawditt of FourWalls will be testing the building with a blower door test and there will be a demonstration showing how to use a thermal imaging camera to identify cold bridges. Tom Heywood from The Green Building Store will be giving a Q&A session on the MVHR system that Earthwise have installed. For full information, and to book a place please visit The Green Register website We recently joined forces with The Green Register to offer a site visit at our current Passivhaus build on an Urban Infill site in Nailsea, near Bristol. They have put together a short video of the afternoon - click below for a taster of the event and a very chilly Richard and Malcolm talking about our commitment to sustainable building and the benefits of partnering with The Green Register for site visits like these. 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!  
 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.
