We are proud to announce that we have recently earned the esteemed Passivhaus Designer accreditation, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency in building design. This accreditation, awarded by the Passive House Institute (PHI), signifies our dedication to meeting the highest standards of energy performance and environmental responsibility.
What is Passivhaus?
Passivhaus, or Passive House, is a rigorous, voluntary standard for energy efficiency in buildings. It aims to reduce the building's ecological footprint, resulting in ultra-low energy buildings that require little energy for space heating or cooling. Achieving Passivhaus certification involves meticulous attention to detail, a deep understanding of building physics, and a commitment to sustainability.
Our Journey to Accreditation
Our team at kyoob has always been passionate about creating buildings that are not only beautiful and functional but also environmentally responsible. Over the past year, our designers and architects have undergone extensive training and have successfully met the stringent criteria set by the Passive House Institute. This process involved mastering advanced building techniques, employing high-performance materials, and incorporating innovative design strategies to minimise energy consumption.
The Benefits of Passivhaus Design
Earning the Passivhaus Designer accreditation brings numerous benefits to our clients and the communities we serve:
1. Energy Efficiency: Passivhaus buildings use up to 90% less energy for heating and cooling compared to conventional buildings. This results in significant cost savings on energy bills and reduces the building's carbon footprint.
2. Superior Indoor Air Quality: Passivhaus design prioritises airtight construction and continuous ventilation, ensuring a constant supply of fresh air. This enhances indoor air quality, making the living environment healthier and more comfortable.
3. Enhanced Comfort: With consistent indoor temperatures and no drafts, Passivhaus buildings provide unparalleled comfort. The design also reduces external noise, creating a serene indoor environment.
4. Long-Term Durability: The high standards of construction required for Passivhaus certification result in buildings that are durable and require less maintenance over time, providing long-term value for property owners.
Our Commitment to Sustainability
At kyoob, sustainability is at the core of our design philosophy. Achieving the Passivhaus Designer accreditation is a testament to our unwavering commitment to creating buildings that are not only energy-efficient but also enhance the quality of life for their occupants. We believe that sustainable design is not just a trend but a necessity in addressing the global challenges of climate change and resource conservation.
