Along with other local authorities, Perth and Kinross Council have a duty to commit to reducing energy use and carbon emissions by ensuring that new builds are as energy efficient as possible, and that our existing building stock is optimised in terms of energy use. We believe the Passivhaus standard is a key industry standard for delivering high quality, low energy buildings. We currently have several Passivhaus projects in different stages of development, including new primary and secondary schools. Our staff have been undergoing various levels of Passivhaus training, with some members now trained as Passivhaus Designers. We look forward to further developing our knowledge and experience of Passivhaus and EnerPHit as our projects begin to come to fruition.
