RISK: lack of knowledge, cost, supply chain
The Enterprise Centre: Risk
www.adaptcbe.co.uk adaptcbe.wordpress.com @adaptcbe #cbeseminar
Passivhaus – basic principles
- Aim: To reduce the requirement for space heating and cooling and primary
energy consumption, whilst also creating excellent indoor air quality and comfort levels
- Fabric first approach to low energy buildings with
- Excellent thermal performance
- Exceptional air tightness
- Mechanical ventilation

Passivhaus - Meeting Standard Performance Targets
www.adaptcbe.co.uk adaptcbe.wordpress.com @adaptcbe #cbeseminar
Passivhaus - Orientation & Area/Volume Ratio
Passivhaus recommends designing the building to be north / south facing, so that the solar gains can be shaded and controlled easier. An E-shaped building designed to achieve the correct orientation.

Thatched elements
Norfolk reed traditional thatch roof lights Yeoman straw thatched cladding panels
www.adaptcbe.co.uk adaptcbe.wordpress.com
- Thatching materials were traditionally sourced locally;
- straw is a by-product of food production and
- reed grows across UK (including the Norfolk Broads)
- Much now in the UK is imported (typically from eastern Europe)
- increased embodied energy and carbon emissions, raising questions
around its sustainability credentials.
- Currently thatch in the UK is limited to heritage conservation work.
- Without innovation and adoption into new build its continued use will remain
limited

Benefits of thatch cladding panels
- Sectional thatch cassettes constructed off site
- Minimal waste
- Weather and daylight construction issues reduced
- Opportunity for panels to be constructed in ‘off-season’
- No scaffolding required on site for erection
- Quickly installed
