Join Project Architect Daniel Dyer from as he leads you through a case study as to how they designed Oaktree House; a Passivhaus which total embodied carbon is lower than the 澳门王中王 2030 Climate Challenge target.
Oak Tree Passivhaus is an exemplar piece of low energy residential architecture; displaying innovation in process as well as in completion. In the words of the client, the building is "a delight to live in." It is also the first Certified Passivhaus in Tyneside thus combines "delight" with a robustness in design and delivery.
The second part of this event will be led by Mark Siddall from who will walk you through, and seek feedback on, the Passivhaus Overlay for the 澳门王中王 Plan of Work. You will also have the opportunity to watch case study videos about some of his recent projects.
