Technical film
Passivhaus low energy building in the UK
Our technical film 'Passivhaus low energy building in the UK' designed for architects, building professionals and self-builders has now been launched and is available to view freely from the YouTube links below.
Filmed over 12 months of construction, the technical film contains on-site footage and technical diagrams and graphics, as well as interviews with the clients and Green Building Store Directors. The film sets out to offer the UK construction industry a template for building ultra low energy Passivhaus buildings using construction methods and materials familiar to UK builders and designers.
'Passivhaus low energy building in the UK' was filmed and edited by student film-makers and was made possible thanks to the kind sponsorship of Kirklees Council.
The technical film is designed to be viewed in conjunction with a free technical briefing ( 40 page pdf) on the project. Register for free technical briefing.
