The Passivhaus Trust has confirmed that Passivhaus certification is now recognised as a deemed-to-satisfy route for certain aspects of the UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standard at Practical Completion.
This is a significant step for the industry, helping to reduce duplication in assessment while recognising the strength of Passivhaus as a quality-assured, performance-led methodology.
