'The Passivhaus Handbook' to be launched at UK Passivhaus Conference
'The Passivhaus Handbook- A practical guide to constructing and retrofitting buildings for ultra-low energy performance', which brings together current thinking and best practice in building to the Passivhaus standard (and written in English!) will be launched at the UK Passivhaus Conference this year. Written by Trust members Janet Cotterell and Adam Dadeby the book gives a comprehensive overview of Passivhaus, the UK context and explores the potential pitfalls and misconceptions around the Passivhaus standard.
Adam Dadeby and Janet Cotterell are directors of Passivhaus Homes Ltd., which has completed one of the very few fully Certified Passivhaus retrofits in the UK and features in the book along with other projects.
The book has received rave reviews from the industry including one from Kevin McCloud, presenter of Grand Designs- 'As we move towards the 2016 zero carbon target in house building, Passivhaus construction looks like becoming not just popular in the UK, but commonplace. This is a no-nonsense and engaging introduction on how to do it.'
Jon Bootland, Chief Executive, Passivhaus Trust said, 'I'm delighted to see everything about Passivhaus and its application in the UK collated for the first time, in The Passivhaus Handbook. The first-hand experience of the authors provides an excellent grounding for the book.'
Delegates at the conference will be able to purchase the Passivhaus Handbook at the special conference rate of £25 (RRP £35).
