Case Studies

These modules are manufactured less than 10 miles from the construction site, with local community engagement at the development and manufacture stage.

Delivered under the IHP. Panelised timber system manufactured from largely natural materials. Solar PV and mechanical ventilation heat recovery units are installed.

A Passivhouse development using timber-frame construction. This project will be delivered by the in-house team ensured the sourcing of local tradespeople, labour and material supplies throughout the construction-phase.

Using local timber – where 63% of site energy requirements will be delivered through solar power.

6 homes delivered under IHP, using Pentre Solar System construction and consuming only 12% of the energy of a traditional build.

Using low carbon materials with good energy performance from sustainable sources. Highly energy efficient homes will heat up steadily and cool down slowly.

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.
