We are an architectural firm in Barcelona specialized in the construction of passive and sustainable buildings, buildings with little or no energy demand to achieve very comfortable and healthy spaces. We carry out Passivhaus (or Passive House in English) projects and consultancy.
The Passivhaus concept
Passivhaus refers to buildings with very low energy demand, i.e. near-zero energy requirement buildings (NZEB).
The constructive requirements of this type of buildings makes the indoor environmental quality is very high and therefore, when we talk about Passivhaus we are talking about houses with great comfort and healthy. Originating in Germany, since the late 1980s Passivhaus certification has been spreading as a benchmark for energy savings in many countries.
Passivhaus
Why build passive houses?
In our Mediterranean climate zone there are already hundreds of passive houses and buildings built to this standard. With the search for the optimization of existing resources and with passive building techniques, a reduction of 70% is achieved in the air conditioning needs of both cold and heat if compared with the obligations of the current regulations (CTE).
We are certified as Passive House Designers.
We are members of the Official College of Architects of Catalonia (COAC), the Passivhaus Building Platform (PEP), the International Passive House Association (iPHA) and the Agrupació Arquitectura i Sostenibilitat (AuS).
