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.
