Unlocking the Future of Premium Lodges: Embracing Energy Efficiency Standards

Are you in the market for a holiday lodge that not only offers luxury but also champions sustainability? Have terms like "Passivhaus principles" left you scratching your head, wondering what it all means? Fear not, because we're here to demystify the world of energy-efficient lodges and shed light on why they're the future of holiday parks.

Understanding the Standards

In the United Kingdom, there exists a myriad of standards aimed at ensuring that homes, including lodges and park homes, are constructed to meet specific energy efficiency criteria. While the minimum benchmark is set by standards like BS3632:2023, forward-thinking builders are surpassing these requirements to embrace cutting-edge practices.

Enter Passivhaus

Passivhaus, a German concept, sets the bar higher by focusing on both design and construction methodologies to create residences that are exceptionally energy-efficient. These homes are meticulously crafted to be super airtight and draught-free, drastically reducing energy consumption and subsequently saving homeowners substantial amounts on utility bills. To put it into perspective, a Passivhaus-approved home boasts an impressive A1 Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating.

Collaborating with Passivhaus-trained architects, engineers, and construction professionals, we've engineered premium lodges that not only meet but exceed the standards.
