Sebastian Moreno, Passivhaus Platform, Belgium:
“Letter to students, future architects and engineers: the Passivhaus standard, the commitment, the challenge”


GENERAL BACKGROUND TALKS

Passivhaus vs Passive House by Gavin Hodgson, BRE.

Passivhaus retrofit by Robert Prewett, Prewettt Brizley Architects
 
Passivhaus design & monitoring by Dr. Paola Sassi, Oxford Brookes University

The  Aesthetic of Passivhaus by Meredith Bowles, Mole Architects



ICE CHALLENGE MOVIE & AIR TESTING by MA Sustainability Students & Paul Jennings, ALDAS

 

" The experiment shows that with careful detailing and construction, the Passivhaus airtightness standards can be achieved. It also highlights that, compared to a standard Building Regulations cell, the Passivhaus test cell is indeed significantly better at keeping a 'cup of tea' warm, as well as keeping cool and recording more stable internal air temperatures", Sofie Pelsmakers, Programme Leader MA Architecture: Sustainability & Design at UEL.
