Passivhaus and Low-Energy Building Service Experts at Econekt

Passsivhaus is the last-word in low-energy, efficient construction. Here’s how the team at Econekt are transforming the construction industry as we know it!

As you’ve probably noticed, we’re somewhat obsessed with helping energy consumers across the UK save money on their gas and electricity bills. We love showing people how much something as simple as switching suppliers can save. But by no means is switching to a new energy plan the only way to cut the cost of powering your home. There are all kinds of household renovations that could make your home more energy-efficient from installing a smart thermostat to upgrading your windows and doors.

But if you’re considering a new-build, you have an opportunity to build energy-efficiency into the very fabric of your home. And when it comes to green, sustainable and energy-efficient, it doesn’t get much better than Passivhaus!

What is Passivhaus?

Passivhaus is a German construction technique that’s making waves across the world. It eschews conventional construction techniques in order to maximise insulation, minimise heat-loss and heat your home in a low-carbon, cost-effective manner by utilising natural warm air currents.

The team at Econekt specialise in helping UK self-builders to harness the power of Passivhaus. Combining aesthetic beauty with intelligent energy-saving technologies, they are doing sterling work in making Passivhaus a reality for UK self-builders.

A collaborative approach to design

The team at Econekt don’t just deliver energy-saving construction. They have an extremely personal approach that’s built around your needs. They offer a complete end-to-end service that covers everything from design to implementation. They also offer turnkey services that can help make your dream a reality with maximum speed and efficiency. It’s a service that’s built around what matters the most to you. Just like ours!

Energy-efficiency built into every facet of your home

Passivhaus leverages innovative construction technologies and unconventional design to optimise energy-efficiency.

For instance, there are none of the geometric corners that are present in conventional design, as these are a common source of heat loss. Glazing is designed to maximise free heat energy from the sun, while thermally-broken windows and doors keep heat indoors where it belongs.

A Passivhaus doesn’t use conventional boilers, radiators or wall heaters. Instead, it uses a mechanical system that recovers heat from stale air and keeps it flowing to where you need it the most.

Low energy bills… forever!

All of this combines to create a home that uses just 15 kWh of heating energy per square metre. That means that you can continue to enjoy energy savings for years to come. Not to mention eschewing natural gas and significantly reducing your home’s carbon footprint.

If you’re serious about energy-efficiency and considering the prospect of self-building, why not give the team at Econekt a call? Combined with regular energy switching your new passive home could lead to a lifetime of low energy bills.
