Case Studies

A Passivehouse development using high performance home grown timber frame, utilising solar PV. There will be opportunities for training in the use of the timber frame construction used on site.

A Passivhouse development using a fabric first approach. The energy efficient development will be super-insulated and consume low levels of energy, with solar panels on the roof generating daytime electricity.

Modular construction development delivered under the IHP, using a hybrid of structural insulated panels and steel frames.

Delivered under IHP using a fabric first approach and a modular construction. Ready-made, two-bedroom homes are designed to retain heat, with environmentally friendly timber frames that help keep the properties warm.

Passivehouse development – part of Denbighshire Council’s target to provide 170 more council homes by 2022

Off site construction using re-purposed shipping containers to address homelessness.

Offsite temporary accommodation using shipping containers on council land at Bute Town as ‘meanwhile use’ with leases lasting up to 5 years.  Each will benefit from solar PV with the benefits fed back directly to residents.  The containers will then be moved to other council owned sites.

A Passivehouse project utilising Modcell (straw bale and hemp), Wikihouse and SIPS. Manufactured on site or very nearby, thereby reducing the carbon footprint to Passivhaus standard.

Delivered under IHP, using a Passivhouse solution with off site construction and a local labour force in Holyhead.
