Passive House Plus (Sustainable Building)

The autumn issue of Passive House Plus features a stunning new passive house in the Scottish highlands built with an innovative offsite system using local timber, and another amazing new passive home in the beautiful surroundings of the South Downs. It also includes a groundbreaking new solar-powered passive house in Dublin that operates almost entirely off the grid. This issue also has an in-depth report on why passive houses are less likely to experience dangerous build-ups of radon gas, and a look back to the 1970s at the world’s first attempt to create a zero energy house. Plus all the latest industry news, opinion, cutting edge analysis, and loads of great photography.
