Manchester
The first major EnerPHit project in the UK, the two run-down Erneley close social housing blocks were transformed with full enveloping, airtightness and MVHR systems. Aldas provided initial training for the site airtightness champions team and extensive preliminary and acceptance airtightness testing. Since completion, residents report affordable comfort and great satisfaction
Warwickshire
Larch house is the most airtight dwelling in the UK to date, achieving a zero Passivhaus airtightness (0.048 AC/hr @ 50 Pa) in Spring 2019. Self-built by a dedicated engineer, ably assisted by a German trained master carpenter, this cross-laminated timber (CLT) set a new standard for airtightness in the UK. Aldas's testing required re-calibration of our fan for very low airflows!
Glasgow
This project involved the refurbishment of 4 floors of ground floor to fourth floor operational office space at the NSS facilities located at Meridian Court, Cadogan Street, Glasgow.
