With the increasing pressure to make best use of the world’s resources and to
protect the environment, Eco design is at the centre of all our projects.
Lang Architects are also Certified Passive House designers. The Passive House
standard provides a highly comfortable, energy-efficient, sustainable living and
working environments with substantial cost savings and improved health and
well-being for occupants.
Passive house buildings are defined by having a high level of thermal comfort
while using very little energy for heating and cooling. This is achieved through a
combination of high levels of insulation, airtight construction, and efficient heating
and ventilation systems. More information can be found through the Passivhaus
Trust. https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/what_is_passivhaus.php
