As one of the most respected brands for Passivhaus verified MVHR systems in the UK, it will come as no surprise that PAUL Heat Recovery are supporting the Passivhaus Trust with the work they are undertaking to support the development of the Scottish Passivhaus Equivalent policy.
This policy followed the announcement in January 2023, by the Scottish Government, to “make subordinate legislation within two years to introduce new minimum environmental design standards for all new build housing to meet a Scottish equivalent to the Passivhaus standard”. As a result, a series of working group meetings were planned by the Scottish Building Standards, within which the Passivhaus Trust were required to contribute technical support of Passivhaus benefits to MSPs, the general public and the construction industry.
Throughout the Passivhaus Trust campaign they will liaise with project partners, including PAUL Heat Recovery, for input and guidance on all things Passivhaus. This brings a great opportunity for all partners to engage with key industry and policy bodies through various platforms and online channels, capturing a wider target audience.
PAUL Heat Recovery will continue to support in all of the aspects of the campaign where we can bring our knowledge and experience in the industry and help to bring the policy forward towards its 2028 target with a goal to improve energy efficiency, enhance indoor air quality and reduce carbon emissions.
Managing Director, Stefan Huber, comments: “Passive House excites me, as I see it as the optimisation of building physics, as well as real best practice in terms of specification and installation. I would love to see Scotland working towards it and embrace the opportunity to learn from the vast experience gathered by 10 thousands of Passive House developments. In our industry of Domestic Ventilation, the massive difference between Passive House systems and standard UK systems is obvious. Putting myself in the shoes of our customers, we want to offer them ventilation solutions that are silent, efficient, durable, cleanable, and provide good air quality, as per the lessons learnt from Passive House.”
