Standards for New Build Housing?
Standards for New Non-Domestic
Buildings?
Demand for SC & SBS
Skills ?
2006 Building Regs Part L standards
Under Construction? 10 + EcoTowns Sustainable communities developments: Upton, Harlow North, Sherford, etc.
Sustainable schools as a UK standard?

Knowledge: of energy and buildings in the UK is very poor; distorted knowledge: new build over existing
stock; focused on Codes, etc not performance. Skills:
(virtually) no body has a complete picture; trade based, not team or multi-skill based;
Scale of Issue: very large sector, numerous players, complex,
huge number of subbies & small builders; Existing homes: 27 million to low-to-zero carbon;

Stamford Brook (Leeds Met Uni): actual build quality does not even reach current Building Regs energy performance;
BSF ‘Green Schools’ (Usable Buildings Trust): not designed to be low energy buildings;
BREEAM & ‘Zero Carbon’ Definitions: being reworked into more energy-intelligent forms – i.e. BREEAM ‘Excellent’ not = Low Energy Building;

UK v's Global Perspective
UK focus on BREEAM, CSH and SAP …
Global focus is now on kWh/m2 …
Passivhaus as a global benchmark:• Based on building physics;• 20 years of experience;• Methodology based on accurate predictions –
not notional buildings (SAP);• Has created a market for Passivhaus Certified
products;

Overview of PassivHaus buildings
world-leading energy efficient construction standard designed and built using a step-by-step approach use efficient components and a whole house ventilation system to achieve ultra low running costs are comfortable, healthy and sustainable typically achieve an energy saving of 90% compared to existing housing. approx 17,000 PassivHaus buildings worldwide - total floor area over 200,000sqm.

Predictable Trends'sorting the wheat from the chaff'
Energy and Carbon performance data increasingly critical for products
Product certification for high performance standards
Competent persons certification for high performance products
Next 5 years – focus on reduction in operational (in-use) energy use, water use and carbon emissions
Within 5-10 years – shift towards impact = (operational + embodied) x energy, carbon and water impacts

Passivhaus is a discipline in counting and adding up
An energy standard for buildings with an absolute energy target
Measured performance
A set of methodologies for delivering the target, or telling you what performance to expect if you can’t go the whole way towards the target
passivhaus provides a real how-to guide, not an aspiration
