as PDF The developer, who as a social landlord would retain possession of the houses, had an interest in energy performance as a means of making housing affordable for their tenants. In 2012 they commissioned Encraft to investigate a variety of options to achieve Code for Sustainable Homes level 4 housing. As a result of our report they choose a fabric first approach, and subsequently settled upon Passivhaus. 19 and 21 Recreation Road are a pair of semi-detached Passive Houses in a social housing estate of 40 similar houses. The whole estate was built to the same fabric and services specification, with four of them being submitted for and achieving Passivhaus certification. 19 and 21 Recreation Road, has been treated as a single air tight building with a single PHPP.
