Russlestown (Nzeb or even passive Standard)

Although this property was issued an A3 Rating it actually performs at a Passive house standard. The owners have occupied the house for a full year and we are able to show all of the Heating and hot water costs to date.

 

We have considered the rules and formula's applied by the current BER that gave this property A3 rated. Heating season duration, target room temperatures, hot water usage per person applied from M2 of building and outside average temperatures.

TESTIMONIALS

 'We employed Mark to build two extensions to  our property. He was inspirational on the use of technology to help us decide on the best way forward with the design. He suggested many ways in which we could improve our design which we are extremely happy about.'

 ' We were looking for a builder to reroof our cottage. It had been thatched but we wanted to have a slate roof installed.  We were also very anxious that character of the house be maintained.  From the first visit to our home by Mark Young I was convinced that he was the right person for the job.'

 

 'It was an absolute pleasure to work with Mark and his team. His professional approach to his work and his attention to detail was outstanding.  But the thing that stood out in my mind most was that no matter how much work you put into the design process there will always be changes during the build, which I have to admit I did quiet a bit.'
