Certified Passivhaus in Sussex

Located in Sussex, this impressive self-build project was designed as a spacious, modern, open plan timber frame home with a clear emphasis on high performance and long-term energy efficiency. Homeowners Adele and Mike chose MBC’s Passive Timber Frame Kit for the main structure, pairing it with the MBC Passive Insulated Foundation and Slab system to create a home that is both well insulated and outstandingly energy efficient.

The home delivers exceptional thermal performance, benefiting from natural insulation materials, excellent airtightness, and a full Passivhaus certification. As a result, the interior environment remains cosy and warm throughout the winter months while staying comfortably cool in summer, all with remarkably low energy demand. This ensures that running costs remain minimal without compromising comfort or quality of life.

To support its low energy design, the home incorporates a renewable energy setup featuring an efficient air source heat pump along with a mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR) system. Together, these technologies maintain a consistent, healthy indoor climate year-round while significantly reducing the homes environmental impact.

Now a fully certified Passivhaus, Adele and Mike’s Sussex home stands as a modern, peaceful, and highly sustainable living space designed for comfort, durability, and future-proof performance.
