Forbes Professional supports clients targeting Passivhaus accreditation

WITH environmental concerns becoming ever more pressing, Passivhaus accreditation provides a great framework for the next generation of sustainable building.

It is no surprise that the innumerable benefits of ‘Passive House’ certification are being increasingly adopted by care homes and other shared accommodation providers including local authorities, universities and PBSAs.

As Forbes Professional delivers commercial laundry appliance rental and managed laundry solutions to a wide range of sectors, it is fundamental that we understand the unique requirements of each individual client.

Those that wish to adhere to Passivhaus standard require specialised attention to ensure that we work within all of the relevant guidelines for their specific environment. As part of the larger picture, we are acutely aware that the efficiency of supply chains is critical to both our own carbon footprint and that of our clients.

We closely monitor the environmental and human impact of our products’ journeys and only work with manufacturers that share our commitment to ESG practices.

With sustainability being absolutely key to the entire design principal of

Passivhaus, it is essential to source the most energy and water efficient commercial laundry appliances for each project.

The exact specification would vary depending upon the individual requirements, but we think that Miele’s heatpump commercial dryers along with their Little Giant washing machines are ideally suited for use in a Passivhaus.

Their advanced technologies and water and energy-saving features significantly reduce consumption.

Additionally, these exquisitely engineered German appliances are impressively quiet in operation, helping to maintain the peaceful space that Passivhaus’ are intended to create.

It is always important to survey the site and consider the anticipated machine usage in order to calculate the optimum drum capacity and machine configuration.

To this end, our experienced consultants work closely with clients and they can help guide Passivhaus clients through the planning and design stages, ensuring that we adhere to all of the relevant industry and building specifications for laundry provision.
