Bennett Freehill to showcase Passivhaus excellence at UK & Ireland Passivhaus Conference 2025

Bennett Freehill’s position at the forefront of sustainable design and Passivhaus excellence will be showcased prominently at the UK & Ireland Passivhaus Conference, taking place this week from 7-8 October at the ICC Belfast.

Cormac Freehill will deliver two keynote presentations that demonstrate our firm’s deep expertise in delivering complex, high-performance sustainable buildings.

The first presentation will focus on the innovative MEP systems and Passivhaus design approach behind Weavers’ Hall student accommodation and the second will spotlight the redevelopment of DAERA Greenmount and Loughry College Campus’. The pioneering SWC Erne Campus will also be showcased at the conference.

These presentations underscore Bennett Freehill’s leadership in sustainable design, particularly. Our track record of delivering Ireland’s largest Passivhaus projects, combined with our ability to navigate the complex technical challenges of retrofit and new-build Passivhaus developments, positions us as the go-to consultancy for organisations committed to achieving net-zero and beyond.

The conference platform provides an opportunity to share our learnings and innovations with the wider Passivhaus community, reinforcing our commitment to advancing sustainable building practices across the UK and Ireland.
